Mind in the Waters

This book is filled with information on whales and neat paintings and pictures. It has bunches of little life stories that make feel awe, admiration, and a sense of coming together with people all over the world who love and respect the whales. Reading this book helped me to understand that whales are not worlds apart from me, all I have to do is look in the right place. It's a shame this book went out of print because the information in this book can not become out dated. I liked this book so much that after i borrowed from the library, and read it I decided I had to buy it and read it over and over!

This is a serious compilation and collection of factual studies, observations, recollections, and hopes and dreams of humans who believe that whales are so much more special than most of us realize. It was written by many authors with the intent of raising the collective consiousness of humanity and to stop the killing of these magnificent animals. Interesting and provocative. As a scuba diver who personnally witnessed an act of kindness by a Grey Whale in La Jolla Bay, I am just another human being who has read and learned enough to believe, that these animals have lived for thousands of years in the oceans of our world with few natural enemies (before mankind), may have more to teach us than we can yet imagine.
