Some things I didn't even know.... The thing that surprised me the most is finding out the difference between a donkey and a mule. I never knew that mules couldn't reproduce. I did know that they were stubborn. I also didn't know that there was such a thing as the butterfly moth. All in all, I found this book entertaining to read and would recommend it to young readers. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description "His Knowledge Of These Animals Is Unsurpassed, His Prose Elegant And Moving." -- Edward O. Wilson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Diversity of Life Sharing his scientific observations in spellbinding detail, Payne brings vividly to life the awesome presence of these great, noble -- and desperately threatened -- creatures. A work of biology, of philosophy, and most certainly of literature, Among Whales is more than a book about whales. It is also a journey of the heart, a journey of discovery about the larger questions of life on earth. "A StoreHouse Of Knowledge Fired By Love." -- The Washington Post Passionate in his love, Roger Payne is also passionate in his outrage at the whalers who slaughter whales for profit and at the pollutants that are destroying our oceans. His words shimmer with truth; his ideas strike powerfully at our consciences. Destined to become a classic, Among Whales is a book of great beauty -- a cautionary tale every one of us who cares about our planet must read. Customer Reviews (8)
Did you like the cetology chapters in Moby Dick?
Among whales.
Touched By Whales Roger Payne is a cetacean scientist - that is to say he studies whales - however that doesn't begin to tell you about what he really does or who he really is.You see, Roger Payne swims up to Right Whales and looks them in the eye.He hangs upside down next to Humpback whales in order to experience their bone shaking songs up close.He spends hundredsd of hours a year on boats watching and recording the movements, behaviors and songs of whales.Best of all, Roger Payne has stories to tell about another world that exists beyond land.He knows and can prove, for example, that Humpback whales sing.Yes sing. Not simply make sounds but create rhythm, patterns and notes in sequences that put some of our greatest composers to shame.He has stories to tell of his encounters with whales that make it abundantly clear that they think, feel and communicate.In short Roger Payne has something to teach us about our relationship to another species on this planet, and we should be listening. But if you're not the sort to read a book just because it would be good for you, read it because Payne is a fine writer whose stories are well told and fascinating, and whose scientific explanations are so clear that even the most scientifically-challenged person can follow.Read it because it will enchant you with its descriptions of whales at play and captivate you with its studies of why whales do what they do.Read it because it will challenge your mind and touch your heart. It's that good.
a great book for an aspirering ceteacean biologist
Outstanding!!! |

A Poem for Ishi
Voices of the First Americans Theodora Kroeber can be congratulated for this great little book of traditional stories from California's Native Americans. Lessons can be learned, values can be taught, and more importantly, the people who originally inhabited these lands can have their voices heard. This book is appropriate for all age groups, but I would insist also that this book be read to youngsters, who could indubitably benefit from the lessons taught within. Truly a great piece of ethnographic work and literature simultaneously. ... Read more |
