Synopsis

The Voice of the Dolphins, my book on 33 years work with dolphins and whales, covers extraordinary underwater encounters with dolphins, killer whales and sperm whales, efforts to stop the slaughter of dolphins in Japan and in the tuna fishery and links between marine toxins and disease in humans and dolphins. It also tells of my diagnosis of multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer connected to chemical contamination and the astonishing genetic links that bind humans and dolphins in a shared fate. Finally, it points to desperately needed and totally doable ways to end using the oceans as a chemical waste dump.
