This new guide will prove absolutely essential – a rigorous and reliable assistant on any seawatch, wildlife cruise or pelagic anywhere. * Birdwatch *
A fine field guide … if you were packing for a trip abroad and paused to wonder whether for your couple of days at sea it was worth taking this guide, you’d decide ‘yes’ as it is slim and will lead you in the right direction. * Mark Avery *
Field Guide to Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises is a wonderful resource for people to use in the field for identification of cetceans, and also for reading at home to learn about the diversity of these interesting marine mammals. * Canadian Field-Naturalist *
