While more scholarly books, such as Jonathan Balcombe's Second Nature: The Inner Lives of Animals or Marc Bekoff and Jessica Pierce's Wild Justice: The Moral Lives of Animals may be preferred by general readers, this title will appeal particularly to young adults.
Fishers, environmentalists, naturalists, and armchair travelers will enjoy this passionate and well-written account, as will fans of Catherine Schmitt's The President's Salmon.
Fans of Joseph Wood Krutch, Henry David Thoreau, and John Muir will enjoy these essays even if they are not familiar with the specific geographic area.
This well-written book will appeal to general readers interested in the topic; however, Philip Hoare's The Whale: In Search of the Giants of the Sea and Alexandra Morton's Listening to Whales: What the Orcas Have Taught Us present more comprehensive treatments of the subject.
General readers, as well as those who enjoyed J.E.N. Veron's A Reef in Time: The Great Barrier Reef from Beginning to End and Richard Ellis's The Empty Ocean, will appreciate this volume.
Illustrated with drawings and photographs and including a lengthy bibliography, this book is aimed at undergraduates and general readers with some background in biology. While Wallace Arthur's Evolving Animals: The Story of Our Kingdom is wider in scope, this work deeply investigates the importance of locomotion to all life forms.
Suitable for college students and educated readers, this work is less technical than Paul Selden's Evolution of Fossil Ecosystems or The Rise of Animals by Mikhail A. Fedonkin and others. Readers will come away with an understanding of the immensity of geological time and the volume of fossil-bearing rock throughout the world.
This book does not provide scientific background as does Justin Gregg's Are Dolphins Really that Smart?? but will interest general and YA readers, as well as nature lovers, who will lose their eagerness to visit dolphin shows and may be motivated toward further reading on the subject.
