Dolphins

An amazing collection of oceanic photography, Dolphins captures all the gracefulness, quirkiness, and intelligence of these playful underwater mammals. Acclaimed nature photographer Tsuneo Nakamura, whose photographs have been hailed as "beautiful"(Science News) and "spectacular"(San Diego Magazine), has traveled the world's richest waters from Hawaii to Honduras for some of the most dynamic shots of dolphins ever captured. Here he brings together over one hundred remarkable photographs that reveal both the whimsical nature and the endearing affection toward humans that make dolphins one of the most intriguing and well-loved creatures of the sea.

Tsuneo Nakamura has been photographing dolphins, whales, and other maritime citizens for many years. When he is not traveling, he lives in Japan. He is also the photographer of Gentle Giant, a photographic essay on the humpback whale (Chronicle Books).

Dr. Randall Wells has been studying dophins and whales since 1970. He is a member of the Chicago Zoological Society, and is based at the Mote Marine Lab in Sarasota Florida.
