I bought this guide for my Marine Mammals class and I really like it. I usually do not hold my books at the end of the time period, but I think this one's a keeper. It is really fascinating and it is smaller than most text books so it is easy to read. It came actually quick, within a few days with the standard transport that was like $3.00. I bought 2 books for this class and saved $30.00 from what the college e-book store would have charged. Good deal.
This guide is a extremely great find. It goes by means of the evolution of cetaceans and pinnapeds. It makes use of some wild termanology however they are all defined for you. It covers each facet of marine mammal evolution. I might recommend this guide to anybody considering whales and dolhpins or seals and sea lions.
