Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Flipper to SeaWorld, dolphins have long captured our hearts. We love these
friendly, intelligent mammals, and they seem to return our feelings—they enjoy
interacting with swimmers and have been known to encircle people under attack by
sharks. Despite our familiarity with dolphins, though, we remain ill-informed
about how they evolved, how they function, and how they have interacted with
humans for millennia. Dolphin dives into the dolphin’s zoology, as well as its
social and cultural history, to offer a comprehensive view of these delightful
creatures.

Drawing on his years of experience working with and studying dolphins, Alan
Rauch explores their propensity to live in pods and their ability to communicate
through a variety of clicks, whistles, and other vocalizations. He examines
their long relationship with humans, describing how they became the emblem of
safe travel and charity, that the ancient Greeks featured them on coins, and
that Hindu mythology associated them with Ganga, a river deity. As the rise in
popularity of dolphinaria during the 1960s allowed the public access to
dolphins, they became central characters in films like The Day of the Dolphin
and Johnny Mnemonic and outsmarted humans in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the
Galaxy. Packed with images and thoughtful insights, Dolphin is a revealing look
at one of our favorite sea creatures.
