Whales and Dolphins of the North American Pacific by Graeme Cresswell, Dylan Walker and Todd Pusser is the first comprehensive photographic guide to the marine mammals of this area (Baja California, Mexico to South East Alaska), covering all 38 species of cetacean (whales, dolphins, porpoises), six species of pinniped (seals, sea lions), and the sea otter. The book also provides extensive information on where, when and how to go whale watching around this area. Its innovative, easy-to-use format aims to help whale watchers identify any species they encounter. Colour distribution maps and full colour artwork accompany the text and there are extra chapters on the geography, climate and oceanography of the North American Pacific. Highly recommended by the Marine Connection for either beginners or experts.
