COPY ISBN
Reiss is a leading dolphin expert and advocate for improved treatment of creatures she sees as among the smartest on the planet. (They even play underwater keyboards for her.) Since she is professor of psychology at Hunter College, director of Dolphin Research at the National Aquarium, adjunct professor in the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Biology at Columbia, and a member of the Animal Welfare Committee of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, she can deliver the science as well as the sense of emotional connection. A smart and humane book, and who doesn't love dolphins?
