Gentle giants: an emotional face to face with dolphins and whales

A volume of photographs that invites you to discover cetaceans, this book provides a surprisingly intense portrait of dolphin and whale life, and a fascinating journey through images (which does justice to these amazing animals, who are a symbol of the struggle involved in the preservation of the marine environment).

The texts, which are scientifically rigorous but still pleasant to read, are accompanied by a rich and accurate set of illustrations, the work of experienced professionals specializing in nature reporting, who can turn a simple photograph into a wondrous creation, involving the reader in an experience of intimate contact with nature and its primitive force.
