　　In Listening to Whales, Alexandra Morton shares spellbinding

stories about her career in whale and dolphin research and what she

has learned from and about these magnificent mammals. In the late

1970s, while working at Marineland in California, Alexandra

pioneered the recording of orca sounds by dropping a hydrophone

into the tank of two killer whales. She recorded the varied

language of mating, childbirth, and even grief after the birth of a

stillborn calf. At the same time she made the startling observation

that the whales were inventing wonderful synchronized movements, a

behavior that was soon recognized as a defining characteristic of

orca society.

In 1984, Alexandra moved to a remote bay in British Columbia to

continue her research with wild orcas. Her recordings of the whales

have led her to a deeper understanding of the mystery of whale

echolocation, the vocal communication that enables the mammals to

find their way in the dark sea. A fascinating study of the profound

communion between humans and whales, this book will open your eyes

anew to the wonders of the natural world.
