Hawaii’s Humpbacks: Unveiling the Mysteries

by Jim Darling,
Photographs by Flip Nicklin, Illustrations by Susan W. Barnes
Released at Whale Quest Kapalua 2009
Publisher: Granville Island Publishing

It’s impossible to be in Hawaii in winter and not see whales offshore. They are everywhere! But what are they actually doing out there? This book – ideal for both novice and experienced whale watchers – answers all your questions and tells you exactly what researchers know about the humpbacks that gather annually on Hawaiian breeding grounds.

Face to Face with Whales by Flip and Linda Nicklin

Released May 13th, 2008
Published by National Geographic Society
Recommended Age: 7-9 years

You slip over the side of your boat, descending deep into the dark realm of the Earth's largest creature. Then the whale starts to sing, just feet away from you. You record the sounds, hoping one day to understand their language. Their music is a rare glimpse of this majestic mammal's unknown world. Photographer Flip Nicklin brings you face to face with whales as they communicate, nurse their young, and surface dramatically for air. Meet these intelligent, social creatures in their natural habitat; learn of the different kinds of whales, from humpbacks to belugas; discover how we can aid their recovery from years of overhunting; and how we can protect their environment.
