Book Synopsis To Free a Dolphin by : Keith Coulbourn
Download or read book To Free a Dolphin written by Keith Coulbourn and published by Renaissance Books. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this memorable first book, Behind the Dolphin Smile, Richard O'Barry told the inspiring story of his personal transformation from world-famous dolphin trainer (Flipper was his pupil) to dolphin liberator. Now, in To Free a Dolphin, he passionately recounts the dramatic story of his heart-breaking campaign to release captive dolphins back into the wild. With wit and insight he chronicles the extreme opposition he has faced from bureaucrats, major players in the captive-dolphin industry, rival wildlife groups, and well-meaning sentimentalists. He introduces readers to famous show animals he has helped, including Bogie and Bacall of Key Largo. And, most fascinating, he describes his struggles to deprogram and rehabilitate dolphins emotionally scarred from years of captivity--struggles that become battles for the animals' souls.

Book Synopsis The Celestial Scriptures by : C. M. Houck
Download or read book The Celestial Scriptures written by C. M. Houck and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-01-22 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Celestial Scriptures will challenge every spiritual principle that has been imposed upon us through tenets or organized religions. It is not easy to face the fact that religious pronouncements—often contradictory—are primarily distortions regarding some universal truth as seen through myth and superstition. The Celestial Scriptures will challenge the reader to get acquainted with a means of spiritual understanding that is unfamiliar, for it reinstates an extremely ancient device as a teaching tool. The irony is that most people in our technilogical society have at least a passing awareness of this device and associate it with a frivolous pastime. In spite of all humankind's technological advances, we have not learned to override the conditioned religious interpretations that were set down by ancestors who insisted that the Earth was the center of Creation. We have climbed out of such simplemindedness and have raised virtual mountains of technological wonders. But amazingly, from the summits these mountains where we are privileged to peer into the living heart of universal truths, we still bow before mythic explanations and superstitions! It is time to face the fact that deceptions have lurked in the halls of faith for far too long.

Download or read book Voices in the Ocean written by Susan Casey and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Inspired by a profound experience swimming with wild dolphins off the coast of Maui, the bestselling author of The Wave set out on a quest to learn everything she could about dolphins—the other intelligent life on the planet. “Part science, part memoir, part impassioned plea for change.” —People Susan Casey’s journey takes her from a community in Hawaii known as “Dolphinville,” where the animals are seen as the key to spiritual enlightenment, to the dark side of the human-cetacean relationship at marine parks and dolphin-hunting grounds in Japan and the Solomon Islands, to the island of Crete, where the Minoan civilization lived in harmony with dolphins, providing a millennia-old example of a more enlightened coexistence with the natural world. Along the way, Casey recounts the history of dolphin research and introduces us to the leading marine scientists and activists who have made it their life’s work to increase humans’ understanding and appreciation of the wonder of dolphins.

Book Synopsis Are Dolphins Really Smart? by : Justin Gregg
Download or read book Are Dolphins Really Smart? written by Justin Gregg and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 1289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How intelligent are dolphins? Is their communication system really as complex as human language? And are they as friendly and peaceful as they are made out to be? The Western world has had an enduring love affair with dolphins since the early 1960s, with fanciful claims of their 'healing powers' and 'super intelligence'. Myths and pseudoscience abound on the subject. Justin Gregg weighs up the claims made about dolphin intelligence and separates scientific fact from fiction. He puts our knowledge about dolphin behaviour and intelligence into perspective, with comparisons to scientific studies of other animals, especially the crow family and great apes. He gives fascinating accounts of the challenges of testing what an animal with flippers and no facial expressions might be animal behaviour, Gregg challenges many of the widespread beliefs about dolphins, while also inspiring the reader with the remarkable abilities common to many of the less glamorized animals around us - such as chickens.

Download or read book The Bottlenose Dolphin written by John E. Reynolds, III and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bottlenose Dolphin presents for the first time a comprehensive, colorfully illustrated, and concise overview of a species that has fascinated humans for at least 3,000 years. After reviewing historical myths and legends of the dolphin back to the ancient Greeks and discussing current human attitudes and interactions, the author replaces myths with facts--up-to-date scientific assessment of dolphin evolution, behavior, ecology, morphology, reproduction, and genetics--while also tackling the difficult issues of dolphin conservation and management. Although comprehensive enough to be of great value to professionals, educators, and students, the book is written in a manner that all dolphin lovers will enjoy. Randall Wells’s anecdotes interspersed throughout the work offer a first-hand view of dolphin encounters and research based on three decades working with them. Color photographs and nearly 100 black and white illustrations, including many by National Geographic photographer Flip Nicklin, beautifully enhance the text.
Book Synopsis Red Buoys, Blue Dolphins by : Ralph E Danbert
Download or read book Red Buoys, Blue Dolphins written by Ralph E Danbert and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-06-10 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the cold waters off the coast of northwestern Washington, the Cold War rages on. The USS Ohio, a newly refitted Trident ballistic missile submarine based in Bangor, Washington, is a source of great curiosity to the Russian military. If their intelligence is to be believed, the US Navy now possesses the technical ability to render its fleet invisible. When a scuba diver is killed in the waters that US Coast Guard Commander Matthew Reynolds patrols, Reynolds finds himself caught up in a war of international intrigue. Tanya Andrushyn, a specialist from the US Navy's satellite intelligence operation in Hawaii, is called in to investigate. Just how did the Russians manage to plant deep-water spy buoys in the waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca without being spotted? A group of specialists and their secret team of trained dolphins are also brought in to neutralize the sono-bouys. When one of the dolphins gets trapped on the ocean floor, however, Andrushyn and her team must make an impossible choice: sacrifice the animal and risk detection or risk her own life to rescue it. To even attempt such an operation, they risk disclosing the existence of top-secret underwater breathing-unit technology. She makes her decision ... and soon finds herself in need of rescue. Andrushyn suspects the sono-buoys are uploading data via satellites, so she and Reynolds try to trick the equipment into sending misinformation instead. The race is on to complete the modifications before their plan is discovered.
