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 Dolphin Within by : Olivia De Bergerac
Download or read book The Dolphin Within written by Olivia De Bergerac and published by . This book was released on 2005-03-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is my story with the dolphins. It is told through human stories, transcripts of videos and conversations with participants of the Dolphin Within expeditions: a research program monitoring human brain states before and after dolphin encounters. It integrates all the different ways I have used to capture the experience I call the Dolphin Within': the shared but intensely individual experiences people have when they are in close contact with wild dolphins. Years ago, very few people in the western world talked about near death experiences; it is only since collective experiences have been gathered that we are now able to conceptualize this phenomenon more widely. Following the same approach, I have collected a large number of Dolphin Within experiences over the last ten years, from the regular research trips during which I have witnessed many encounters between people and dolphins. Different patterns have emerged out of the five hundred case studies, which show the power of transformation and healing that such encounters can create. However I went further than just collecting experiences; I tested the brains of the participants before and after their Dolphin Within experiences, using an electroencephalogram (EEG) machine connected to a notebook computer. Using this method, I have found scientific evidence of and possible explanations for the changes in mind, body and spirit I have observed in people who encounter dolphins. The brainwave pattern changes, the human brain shifts into a very slow frequency called theta'. It is that specific state that I call the "Dolphin Within". That state leads human to a self-transformation process that has great potential. One can say that my scientific research demystifies the healing power of dolphins. However, the more I observe, the more I realize how much we can learn from the People of the Sea. This book explains why, since 1993, I have dedicated my live, my financial resources and my time to explore the human-dolphin connection through the creation of the Dolphin Society, a non-profit institution, and ODB Consulting, a management consulting company. Both of them are aimed at bringing Dolphin Within experiences to the general public and to the business world. As a management consultant, I have developed a new human psychology of human potential based on a dolphin model. Not only do I talk about the Corporate Dolphin way of doing business. I also bring business people to experience the Dolphin Within themselves, in order to bring change in their personal and professional lives. A Dolphin Within experience is indescribable, by definition. Each and every person coming out of a powerful experience with dolphins says the same thing: There are no words'. I myself don't even want to talk for some time after a Dolphin Within experience. So, creating a book about something that cannot be expressed in words is quite a challenge. Until we humans develop our communication systems towards those of the dolphins (who share information with each other holographically, transferring images from brain to brain using sound), the written word, pictures and sounds are the best we can use to offer a taste of the Dolphin Within experience to a wider audience. I am currently working on other ways to provide the healing and uplifting experiences dolphins can give us, without the intervention of dolphins themselves, in order to preserve their habitat and lifestyle. I hope you will soon be able to hear, while reading, the "ooh, haha whoo ha and Oh my God" which are part of any Dolphin Within experience. In 1994 we were asked by ABC Radio to put together some sounds of our trips for an interview, and we realised how much a Dolphin Within experience was about opening the heart and laughing, having the "ho ha" human sounds coming out at each dolphins jump at the bow of the boat. Much of this book was written on the sea, on a yacht, with the dolphins around me. I just had to pop

Download or read book Souls in the Sea written by Scott Taylor and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2003-02-21 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dolphins have long been attributed with intelligence, but do they have souls? Self-awareness? Compassion? Scott Taylor, Director of the Cetacean Studies Institute, investigates the history, mythology, and science surrounding these creatures and emerges with a resounding yes. And not only do whales and dolphins merit our attention and respect in their own right: they are an index to what our future as a species can be. In this multi-faceted cetology compendium, Taylor surveys the portrayal of dolphins and whales in works of literature as disparate as Moby Dick and Sumerian legend, examines biologist John Lilly's research on interspecies communication, and explores the benefits of dolphin-assisted swimming therapy for disabled children and adults. Looking at the world from the perspective of one of these "souls in the sea," Taylor suggests that cetaceans are an ideal bridge between humanity and nature. Poetically written and thoughtfully illustrated with photos and drawings, Souls in the Sea is a comprehensive celebration of the biology, history, and mystique of dolphins and whales.
Download or read book The Dolphin written by Robert Lowell and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have sat and listened to too many words of the collaborating muse, and plotted perhaps too freely with my life, not avoiding injury to others, not avoiding injury to myself— to ask compassion . . . this book, half fiction, an eelnet made by man for the eel fighting my eyes have seen what my hand did. Winner of the 1974 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry, The Dolphin was controversial from the beginning: many of the poems include the letters that Robert Lowell’s wife, the celebrated writer and critic Elizabeth Hardwick, wrote to him after he left her for the English socialite and writer Caroline Blackwood. He was warned by many, among them Elizabeth Bishop, that “art just isn’t worth that much.” Nevertheless, these poems are a powerful document of an impulsive love, and a moving record of Lowell’s change from one life and marriage in America to a new life on new terms with a new family in England, rendered with the stunning technical power and control for which he was so celebrated. This new edition, which follows the 1973 edition, includes scans of the pages of Lowell’s original manuscript, giving us a look into the brilliant and complicated mind of one of our most beloved and distinguished poets.

Book Synopsis Island of the Blue Dolphins by : Scott O'Dell
Download or read book Island of the Blue Dolphins written by Scott O'Dell and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 1960 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far off the coast of California looms a harsh rock known as the island of San Nicholas. Dolphins flash in the blue waters around it, sea otter play in the vast kep beds, and sea elephants loll on the stony beaches. Here, in the early 1800s, according to history, an Indian girl spent eighteen years alone, and this beautifully written novel is her story. It is a romantic adventure filled with drama and heartache, for not only was mere subsistence on so desolate a spot a near miracle, but Karana had to contend with the ferocious pack of wild dogs that had killed her younger brother, constantly guard against the Aleutian sea otter hunters, and maintain a precarious food supply. More than this, it is an adventure of the spirit that will haunt the reader long after the book has been put down. Karana's quiet courage, her Indian self-reliance and acceptance of fate, transform what to many would have been a devastating ordeal into an uplifting experience. From loneliness and terror come strength and serenity in this Newbery Medal-winning classic.
