New: BRAND NEW HARDBACK 10 by 6.89 inches. This book is printed on demand. (allow 1-2 weeks for printing)(560 pages) berta and sumich have succeeded yet again in creating superior marine reading this book is a succinct yet comprehensive text devoted to the systematics, evolution, morphology, ecology, physiology, and behavior of marine mammals. the first edition, considered the leading text in the field, is required reading for all marine biologists concerned with marine mammals. revisions include updates of citations, expansion of nearly every chapter and full color photographs. this title continues the tradition by fully expanding and updating nearly all chapters * comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of the biology of all marine mammals * provides a phyloge*n*e*t*ic framework that integrates phylogeny with behavior and ecology * features chapter summaries, further readings, an appendix, glossary and an extensive bibliography * exciting new color photographs and additional distribution mapspart i: evolutionary history systematics and classification pinniped evolution and systematics cetacean evolution and systematics sirenians and other marine mammals: evolution and systematics evolutionary biogeography part ii: evolutionary biology, ecology, and behavior integumentary and sensory systems musculoskeletal system and locomotion energetics respiration and diving physiology sound production for communication, echolocation, and prey capture diet, foraging structures, and strategies reproductive structures, strategies, and patterns population structure and population dynamics conservation and protection references appendix: classification of marine mammals glossary index...successfully highlights the current state of knowledge on the diverse assemblage of mammals that utilise the marine environment. these authors have combined their expertise to produce a comprehensive treatise....an excellent textbook for advanced courses in marine mammalogy. indeed, all scientists and students who study marine mammals should read it...the book's major strength lies in the sections on the anatomy and physiology of marine mammals. the early chapters on evolution and systematics of the three primary groups of marine mammals (pinnipeds, cetaceans and sirenians) are highly detailed with respect to anatomical features...this book is an important resource and it should not be merely viewed as a classroom textbook. it contains a wealth of information. in addition to the biological aspects of marine mammals, the book also provides the history of exploitation and political attempts to manage and regulate hunting. even though this review is presented in an unbiased manner, the conclusions are that current practices of overfishing may lead in the end to the demise of a number of species. berta, sumich and kovacs present a hopeful plea that we can make future political decisions based on a sense of stewardsh1p of the oceans and its inhabitants. -frank e. fish, department of biology, west chester university in animal biology...berta et al have provided us with a crucial resource spanning many disparate research venues...each chapter provides extensive references for further research. in the appendix are listed the living species (as discussed in the book) with information such as diagnosis, definition, distribution, fossil history and content. a glossary, a substantial index and several pages of color photos completes the rest of the book...certainly, this book is appropriate for any academic library supporting marine science, marine ecology, environmental science, evolutionary biology and similar programs. -peggy dominy in e-streams this update to the original version of this basic book originally published in 1999 is highly welcome...the authors succeed again in presenting a book that is simultaneously challenging and easily readable for students. the strength of the book is its integrative presentation of adaptiveness to the marine environment (e.g. in terms of anatomy,...
