Invites all of us shore-bound dreamers to join the author and travel alongside the dolphins. This title takes us inside the world of a marine scientist and offers a firsthand understanding of marine mammal behavior, as well as the frustrations, delights, and creativity that make up dolphin research.

This book explains how and why apes and dolphins are so distantly related yet so cognitively alike and what this teaches us about another large-brained mammal: Homo sapiens. Noting that apes and dolphins have had no common ancestor in nearly 100 million years, the authors describe the parallel evolution that gave rise to their intelligence.
