Sea Guide to Whales of the World : A Complete Guide to the World's Living Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises by Wilfred Watson and Lyall Watson (1981, Hardcover)
Dense and packed with comprehensive and accurate knowledge about whales
Lyall Watson is a marvelous writer. He combines science with the 'other' and makes it all so real and relative to our lives. This book he says is the most up to date publication about whales. It was for its time and it is very dense and probably for whale geeks rather than a casual reader.
