![]() | Dolphin Mysteries: Unlocking the Secrets of Communication Exciting new technologies and research methods help scientists unravel the mysteries of dolphin communication, intelligence, and culture Kathleen M. Dudzinski and Toni Frohoff are scientists who have collectively dedicated more than 40 years to studying dolphins beneath the ocean's surface, frequently through a close-up underwater lens. Drawing on their own experiences and on up-to-the-minute research, the authors show that dolphins are decidedly not just members of a group but distinct individuals, able to communicate with one another and with humans. Dudzinski and Frohoff introduce a new way of looking at, and listening to, the vocabulary of dolphins in the sea, and they even provide an introductory "dolphin dictionary," listing complex social signals that dolphins use to share information among themselves and with people. Unveiling an intimate and scientifically accurate portrait of dolphins, this book will appeal to everyone who has wanted a closer glimpse into the hearts and minds of these amazing creatures. Kathleen M. Dudzinski, Ph.D., is director of the Dolphin Communication Project and co-editor of the journal Aquatic Mammals. She serves on the adjunct faculties of the University of Southern Mississippi, Alaska Pacific University, and the University of Rhode Island. She lives in Stonington, CT.
