Description

The Past and Present Lives of our Oceans’ Cornerstone Species

A richly illustrated introduction to the world’s living and extinct sea mammals. From the gregarious sea otter and playful dolphin to the sociable narwhal and iconic polar bear, sea mammals are a large, diverse, and increasingly precious group.
In this book Annalisa Berta, a leading expert on sea mammals and their evolution, presents an engaging and richly illustrated introduction tom past and present species of these remarkable creatures, from the blue whale and the northern fur seal to the extinct giant sperm whale, aquatic sloth, and walking sea cow.

The book features more than 50 individual species profiles, themed chapters, stunning photographs, and specially commissioned paleo-illustrations of extinct species. It presents detailed accounts of these mammals’ evolutionary path, anatomy, behaviour, habitats, and conservation.
And because these are key species that complete many food chains and have the widest influence of all sea life, the book also offers insights into a broad variety of marine worlds today and in the future.
