WDCS North America

We are proud to announce the publication of a new book written by WDCS’s very own Mark Simmonds and Philippa Brakes all about whales and dolphins.

Entitled Whales and Dolphins: cognition, culture, conservation and human perceptions the book brings together a wide range of experts from the world of whale and dolphin research to look again at our current knowledge of the complex behaviour and social organization of these animals. The book contrasts this with how different human cultures from around the world view whales and dolphins and their protection, including attitudes to whaling.

With contributions from experts like Hal Whitehead, and Thomas I. White, ‘Whales and Dolphins’ also seeks to show how new information on whale and dolphin intelligence, culture and the ability to suffer, means that there has to be a big shift in the global view of this group of animals, and how we can make the changes needed to improve the animal’s conservation and welfare.

Copies of the book can be bought directly from services such as amazon.com.
