The Whale: Mighty Monarch of the Sea

Jacques-Yves Cousteau

Arrowood Press, 1987

Every bit as relevant today.
This book was first published in 1972. Since that time advancements in underwater photographic equipment have been enormous. I have often wondered what the great Jacques Cousteau and his team would have achieved had they possessed today's equipment in the 50's, 60's and 70's. But then I took another look at some of the photographs in this book. The pictures of Humpback Whales on pages 110/111 ...

The Smoky Mountains, from both sides
Eliot Porter's beautiful photographs of wildflowers, trees, and mountain streams are an interesting juxtaposition to the often caustic prose of Edward Abbey, who writes the main body of the text, and Harry Caudill, who writes the epilogue. This book is Abbey at his best, showing that he can write well about a landscape other than the American southwest. He describes the landscape of the ...

The Undersea Discoveries of Jacques-Yves Cousteau: the Whale, the Shark, Dolphins (3 Volumes)

Jacques-Yves & Philippe Diole Cousteau

Arrowood Press, 1987

A Trilogy of the finest works.
Jacques Cousteau will forever remain the man who gave the world scuba diving. Whilst both his work and his films are legendary, several of his early books have stood the test of time to provide the reader with a relevant insight into marine creatures - even though the book itself may have been published over 30 years ago. Three of Cousteau's finest books were; Dolphins, Shark (Splendid Savage ...

Dolphins

Jacques Yves Cousteau, Phillipe Diole

Arrowood Press, 1987

One of the best-ever books about Dolphins.
It is hard to believe this book was first published in 1974. Since that time our knowledge of these friendly sea mammals has increased quite markedly. As we re-visit this excellent series of books by the legendary Jacques Cousteau, however, we discover just how much he was ahead of his time. This man came to know more about the sea and it's creatures than any man ever did - and perhaps ever ...
