Description

This book explores the essential aspects of what makes marine mammals physiologically "different" from terrestrial mammals in regard to life in the sea. Neither a collection of scientific publications nor a reference encyclopedia, it focuses on exploring a consistent approach to questions about life in the sea. Each chapter is arranged around a common perspective and theme: the big picture challenge & summary, what is known specifically by order, tools/methods used for this field and lingering mysteries/future of this topic.
