Watching Giants by Elin Kelsey
Takes readers to the incredibly productive waters of the Gulf of California and beyond, to oceans around the world. This book helps readers encounter humpback whales that build nets from bubbles, gain a maternal perspective on the dolphin-tuna issue, and contemplate the meaning of the complex social networks that exist in the seas.

Brilliant at pursuing seemingly unrelated trails back down the blowhole, Kelsey illuminates the "humanity" of whales. Publishers Weekly "Engaging portrayal of the lives and culture of whales." The Economist "Charming... Will be of interest to all whale and dolphin watchers." Choice
