Books about cetaceans - just finished Rush Oh!

[Squirmy65ghyg]

Brilliant book on the relationship between orcas and a whaling community in Australia.

Can anyone recommend a book on cetaceans please, either fiction or non fiction? There's a few on Amazon, including one by an ex Sea World trainer.

Moby Dick
The Dolphins of Pern

I'm looking forward to reading Rush-Oh!

I recently read The North Water, set on a whaling vessel, but not too focussed on the relationship with humans.

Second Moby Dick.

Arthur C Clarke wrote a book called Dolphin Island which was about a scientist studying dolphin communication iirc. Read it a long time ago but might be worth a look.

I recommend you look for the documentary Blackfish if you are interested in Orcas and Seaworld - it might give you pointers on what to read as a lot of previous trainers and whale experts are involved.

It was so good! An undercurrent of knowing humour, not sure how to put it - let me know what you think!

Thank you. I saw Blackfish and am so saddened by what these amazing creatures are subject to. There are at least 2 solitary orca who are in very very small tanks (rest are with others) - shocking. Lolita in miami and Morgan in Spain. I don't know how anyone can justify it.

I don't know how focused it is on cetaceans, but there's The Explorer's Daughter by Kari Herbert.
