"The book is very complete and covers a very wide range of topics. This is a very valuable book, and every facility keeping marine mammals should have this book in their library. With the information in this book, the lives of animals can be saved, and reproduction and the well-being of animals can be improved. Congratulations to all the authors and the editors of this book for achieving such an impressive and useful handbook!" - Aquatic Mammals, 2004 "More than 10 years after the publication of the first edition, comes the new and greatly improved edition of a very helpful book. This new edition should be standard reading for anyone involved in marine mammals to include keepers, curators, veterinarians, and trainers... The editors are to be commended for an excellent job... the new edition of this book will serve professionals involved with marine mammals very well." -Library News for Zoos and Aquariums, September 2001 Promo Copy
