What are they doing out there?
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 of your questions and tells you exactly what researchers know about the humpbacks that gather annually on the Hawaiian breeding grounds.
The reviews are already coming in for Hawaii's Humpbacks, Unveiling the Mysteries
"Hawaii's Humpbacks: Unveiling the Mysteries is indispensable for anyone with a sense of wonder about whales. It's a field guide, primer and fascinating read all in one. If you've ever wondered why whales sing, what researchers do, and where best to see humpbacks, this is a must-read."
-- Chris Johns
Editor in Chief, National Geographic magazine
"Hawaii's Humpbacks, Unveiling the Mysteries is the most complete and accurate book I have ever seen on humpback whales."
-- Gary Sprinkle
Co-Anchor, KITV-4 News
"Hawaii's Humpbacks - Unveiling the Mysteries is a splendid and colorful handbook about the creatures, which visit Hawaii every winter. Written by cetologist Jim Darling, photographed by National Geographic's Flip Nicklin and charmingly illustrated by Susan W. Barnes, the book is a handy guide - not to everything we know about humpbacks, but to everything we know so far about humpbacks."
-- Burl Burlingame
Honolulu Star Bulletin
"If you're ever going to buy a book on humpback whales, make this the one. With clear prose and beautiful photographs, it takes you through the world of the Hawaiian humpback right to the cutting edge of what is actually known about these amazing creatures. Highly recommended.
-- Christopher Moore,
New York Times bestselling author of Fluke and Lamb
