內容簡介

You slip over the side of your boat, descending deep into the dark realm of the Earth's largest creature. Then the whale starts to sing, just feet away from you. You record the sounds, hoping one day to understand their language. Their music is a rare glimpse of this majestic mammal's unknown world. Photographer Flip Nicklin brings you face to face with whales as they communicate, nurse their young, and surface dramatically for air. Meet these intelligent, social creatures in their natural habitat; learn of the different kinds of whales, from humpbacks to belugas; discover how we can aid their recovery from years of overhunting; and how we can protect their environment.

作者簡介

If you're doing something you love, you'll never notice the hours it takes to do it very well, and it's worth it, says Flip Nicklin, a National Geographic photographer with more than 5,500 dives spent observing dolphins and whales, to his credit. His 20 articles for the National Geographic magazine include: Humpback Whales (1982), Whales Called Killer (1984), Rare Look at Sperm and Blue Whales (1984), Narwhal Unicorn of the Arctic (1986), Whales, An Era of Discovery (1988), Dolphins in Crisis (1992), Beluga, White Whale of the North (1994), Bowhead Whales (1995), Realm of the Elusive Sperm Whale (1995), Marine Sanctuaries (1998), Bottlenose Whales (1998), Listening to Humpbacks (1999), and Pursuing the Minke (2001). His books include With the Whales and Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises, published by the National Geographic Society. He works actively with the Whale Trust, a whale conservation organization. His co-author is his wife, Linda Nicklin, a writer, researcher, and whale lover. Together they work on research and education projects in Alaska and Hawai'i from their new research boat, The Trust.

非常好，喜歡，都是科普類的英文書，國內實體很少能買到啦

價位比價格閤適就買迴來瞭，發現，特彆喜歡

一直京東購物信賴京東，等孩子大點瞭就給他講，囤著

三月底下的單，等瞭兩個月纔到貨，書確實不錯。

99十本時入手的，很劃算，雖然外錶有點舊，但不影響閱讀

三月底下的單，等瞭兩個月纔到貨，書確實不錯。

我為什麼喜歡在京東買東西，因為今天買明天就可以送到。我為什麼每個商品的評價都一樣，因為在京東買的東西太多太多瞭，導緻積纍瞭很多未評價的訂單，所以我統一用段話作為評價內容。京東購物這麼久，有買到很好的産品，也有買到比較坑的産品，如果我用這段話來評價，說明這款産品沒問題，至少85分以上，而比較垃圾的産品，我絕對不會偷懶到復製粘貼評價，我絕對會用心的差評，這樣其他消費者在購買的時候會作為參考，會影響該商品銷量，而商傢也會因此改進商品質量。
