Through dolphins, we can see the best and worst of mankind.On average, seventy four dolphins wash up on the Gulf of Mexicos north shore every year. In the first half of 2012, there were eight hundred and ninety-one of them, with stillborn baby dolphins washing up at ten times the average yearly rate. The cause? BPs disastrous oil spill in 2010.For decades mankinds actions have led to the deaths of thousands of these beautiful creatures and this continues now, at a time when we know more about them than we ever have before. We know about their intelligence, abilities, and their culture. We know how similar to us they really are.In her most provocative book yet, Susan Casey takes us into an underwater world that is similar to our own in ways no other animals world is. Were at a crossroads now where we could end up destroying these beautiful creatures, and our relationship with nature has become so dysfunctional that it jeopardizes our own existence. By combining her own personal narrative with her in-depth scientific research, Casey delivers a narrative which is both compassionate and thrilling.

I bought these two books together, but read them almost two years apart. They are both fantastic reads. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Guys, this book! I picked it off my shelf for a photo prompt and now I can't put it down. It's both fascinating and deeply upsetting. I highly recommend it for anyone with even a passing interest in animal welfare.

I have been meaning to read this one since I bought it last year. It discusses our relationship with dolphins, both amazing and dark. #bodyofwater #MayBookFlowers

This book is really making me think about how humans exploit these magnificent beings for profit and pleasure.

This has been a fantastic read! I recommend to anyone with an interest in cetaceans, great journalism, or cultural explorations! Casey does a masterful job of connecting her observances and opening doors for the reader.
