(An Adventure Story Reveals New Concepts in Time)

This Book comes from many years of experience with whales, those graceful, friendly and majestic animals, so intensely aware of humans. Whales have taught us a novel form of human-animal communication; they demonstrate for us the importance of rhythms in nature and of rhythm based experiments between humans and animals. They show us how the world can `Dance With Nature,' by teaching us to `Dance With Whales.'

Written in a parallel format with scientific and narrative separate within the same chapter, the book can be read simply for its story of humans interacting with whales, or with the scientific material being read as an introduction to the text.

This book satisfies the reader's curiosity about whales on several levels. It provides scientific models to interest the reader searching for an in-depth study and it offers anecdotal, magazine-style writing to please the reader who just wishes to underst and the magnificent mammal a little better.

Dancing with Whales is the way the whale researcher Peter Beamish describes his hands-on tours. [It] describes a series of ocean encounters with fin, humpback and minke whales and dolphins, and his research into communication with whales. Using what he calls Rhythm Based Communication, he provides conclusive evidence that whales and humans are watching each other, communicating with each other, and curious about each other.

Dancing With Whales seems to be the most exciting scientific book I will ever read!
