Whales Be warned, some of the images in this wonderful book about protecting whales are disturbing. It’s never easy to see photographs of beached, dead, or injured whales and yet, any book about whale conservation would be incomplete without. Fortunately, “Whale Rescue” also contains plenty of photographs celebrating the grace and mysterious beauty of these giants of the sea. Information about various species of whales and the pressures they face from boat traffic, commercial fishing, and habitat degradation are interspersed with profiles of people who study whales and work to protect them. A section of fast facts, a list of resources for those interested in learning more or getting involved in whale preservation, and a good index make this a great tool for children doing research projects. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
