This new edition of Marine Mammals of the World describes and illustrates newly discovered
and rarely photographed species, making it the most comprehensive and up-to-date identification
guide available. This edition continues to meet the research-focused needs of marine
biologists and conservation biologists by providing a tremendous influx of new photos,
taking advantage of advances in digital and auto-focusing photography, and the emergence
of marine mammal studies and "whalewatching" around the world. The book encompasses
cetacean, pinniped, and sirenian species, as well as extinct species, and describes
basic biology and taxonomic groupings of marine mammals. -- Provided by publisher
