Pamela S. Turner

Ride alongside the author Pamela S. Turner and her scientific team and meet a cast of dolphin characters large enough (and charismatic enough) to rival a Shakespearean play-Puck, Piccolo, Flute, and Dodger among them. You will fall in love with this crew, both human and finned, as they seek to answer the question: just why are dolphins so smart? And what does their behavior tell us about human intelligence, captive animals, and the future of the ocean? Beautiful photos of dolphins in theirnatural habitat and a funny, friendly, and fast-paced text make this another winner in the Scientists in the Field series.Pair this with other intriguing stories of real-world science, at www.sciencemeetsadventure.com .
