Voices in the Ocean: A Journey into the Wild and Haunting World of Dolphins

From Susan Casey, the New York Times bestselling author of The Wave and The Devils Teeth, a breathtaking journey through the extraordinary world of dolphins Since the dawn of recorded history, humans have felt a kinship with the sleek and beautiful dolphin, an animal whose playfulness, sociability, and intelligence seem like an aquatic mirror of mankind. In recent decades, we have learned that dolphins recognize themselves in reflections, count, grieve, adorn themselves, feel despondent, rescue one another and humans, deduce, infer, seduce, form cliques, throw tantrums, and call themselves by name. Scientists still dont completely understand their incredibly sophisticated navigation and communication abilities, or their immensely complicated brains.     While swimming off the coast of Maui, Susan Casey was surrounded by a pod of spinner dolphins.
