Whales and Dolphins of the European Atlantic

This is the first comprehensive photographic guide to the cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) of the European Atlantic covering all 27 living species.

Its innovative, easy-to-use format aims to help whale-watchers identify any species they encounter, whether they be a beginner or an expert.

The 14 remarkable colour plates depict typical views of cetaceans at sea.

They have been produced using the latest digital image technology and include images of some species never previously published.

The text covers the key identification features of each species, emphasising the differences between similar species, and includes information on status, behaviour and distribution.

Colour distribution maps accompany the text for each species
