Språk: engelska/ English. ---- Obee, a freelance writer, and Ellis, a whale researcher, have produced a chronological account of whale research covering a 20-year period. Whale study was once limited to captive and dead whales, but scientists discovered that it was possible to observe these animals, once considered too untrackable and dangerous, in the wild. Obee profiles some of the most notable researchers, and Ellis's color photographs illustrate the wonderful diversity of these aquatic mammals. While other recent books offer historical accounts of whales (Richard Ellis's Men and Whales , LJ 10/15/91) or photographic natural history (Jacques Cousteau and Yves Paccolet's Jacques Cousteau: Whales , LJ 12/88), this book's solid scientific research approach makes it a highly recommended choice for general natural history collections.
