From Library Journal:
In this book, scientists, naturalists, and underwater photographers relate a variety of fascinating experiences with whales. Particularly engaging is the story of the Minnesota Zoological Garden's attempt to treat a cut on the lip of a beluga using a giant bandaid developed by the 3M Company. Another chapter describes efforts to redirect a humpback whale, known as Humphrey, out of the San Francisco Bay estuaries into which it had wandered. The stories are fresh and will give general readers a good perspective on man's varied interactions with these great sea mammals. Susan Klimley, Columbia Univ. Libs.
