| Summary, etc. | Mind in the Waters joins Mostert's Supership as this year's strongest ecological attack on idiocy & greed, with McIntyre focusing on the slaughter of whales & dolphins. She plunges the reader into the Cetacea family with great, great power. Her contributors include leading scientists in whale brain studies, neurology, societal habits; Arctic naturalist Farley Mowatt & dolphinologist John Lilly; poets D.H. Lawrence, Pablo Neruda, Michael McClure etc.; & scholars of whale myths in world literatures. Brain analysis indicates that whales perceive in all their senses at once; i.e., where human motor controls are in varied areas of the brain, the whale's overlap & apparently are cross-stimulated, with results we can only imagine. Whales have very long lives (nobody knows for sure how long) & have been in the oceans for 30 million years. This extraordinary collection goes beyond any studies yet published & will appeal to a reader's imagination, intuition & heart, & should satisfy the scientific mind as well. Royalties from this thickly illustrated book will go to Project Jonah, a campaign for a world moratorium on the commercial killing of whales & dolphins.--Kirkus (edited) |
