Whales, Dolphins and Seals – Hadoram Shirihai & Brett Jarrett (2006, A & C Black Publishers) is the definitive global field guide to the world’s marine mammals, designed for observers, naturalists and wildlife enthusiasts alike. In Whales, Dolphins and Seals: A Field Guide to the Marine Mammals of the World, Shirihai draws on decades of field experience to provide comprehensive species coverage of cetaceans (whales and dolphins), pinnipeds (seals and sea lions), sirenians (manatees and dugongs), marine otters and even the polar bear — offering an unparalleled single‑volume reference for identification, behaviour and distribution. This 2006 A & C Black edition was widely acclaimed on its original release and remains a cornerstone reference for anyone keen to understand and identify marine mammals in the wild.
From the smallest porpoise to the largest baleen whale, Whales, Dolphins and Seals presents each species with authoritative text, stunning colour photographs and meticulously crafted illustrations that highlight key field marks crucial for accurate identification at sea. The guide also incorporates distribution maps and concise behavioural notes that make it both a practical companion on marine expeditions and a highly informative educational resource. With 384 pages of engaging content, this field guide blends scientific rigour with accessibility, enabling both beginner and experienced observers to feel confident interpreting what they see on the water’s surface.
What sets Whales, Dolphins and Seals apart is its global scope: unlike many regional guides, it covers every species of marine mammal encountered around the world, making it equally useful for boat‑based whale watching, coastal mammal excursions or academic reference. The collaborative work of Shirihai’s in‑the‑field knowledge and Jarrett’s artwork ensures that each entry is not only informative but visually striking, offering a deeply rewarding look at some of the ocean’s most charismatic and elusive creatures.
