Cloaked in the mystery of the sea, whales lead lives that are largely removed from the sight of humans. They encompass a variety of species that differ greatly in size, behavior, and life history. With its spectacular photographs and text drawn from the most up-to-date research, Whales of the World is a delightful and informative celebration of these fascinating animals. 
Phil Clapham, recognized as one of the world's leading whale experts, examines all the species, from humpback to blue whales to right whales and sperm whales, and reveals the often complex ways in which whales interact, communicate and breed. He also recounts the history of whaling from its earliest days among aboriginal peoples to the large-scale commercial operations which left several populations on the brink of extinction. The book concludes by surveying the many images of whales found in legend and myth.
