Product Description
The author charts his study of the Spinner dolphins from his earliest contacts off Hawaii, to more recent conservationist experiences centred around the snagging of these dolphins in tuna nets. He suggests how a protection group called The Magic Envelope might hold the key to the net dilemma.

A thinking-person's book about dolphins December 14, 2000
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
As a graduate student in Hawaii, I was fortunate enough to have encounters with dolphins on several snorkle outings. It is certainly a special experience, but stop reading here if you think I am about to launch into a new-age rant about "...how dolphins are helping humans to evolve"! Norris presents an accessible description about dolphin behavior and the science involved in that study. Although I have a science background, I know little biology, and yet Norris clearly presents this work in terms I could understand, and that any thinking person will be comfortable with. I have since purchased other books by Norris on dolphins, and schedule snorkle trips everytime I visit the Islands. If you have seen the latest IMAX movie "Dolphins" (dedicated to Norris), now is the time to read the book!

Dolphin Days is a great book about a guy who researched dolphins. It explains their behavior and scientifics without getting boring. I highly recommend it!
