Whales: A Survey of Their Biology and Behavior This comprehensive guide explores the lives of the world's largest living mammals, delving into their evolution, life cycle, diversity, distribution, and ecosystems. Drawing on the latest scientific research, it reveals the fascinating aspects of these intelligent and social creatures, including their complex vocalizations used for communication over vast distances. The book examines the role of whales in human culture, from whaling to whale watching, and discusses the methods scientists use to monitor threats to whales and conserve their future.
