KIRKUS REVIEW There are two schools of thought on the porpoise: The ""liberals"" rate its intelligence as near-human and believe that it possesses both a symbolic language and a special affinity for people. The ""conservatives"" place the porpoise's intelligence on a par with the dog and scorn any suggestion that man's historical fascination with the bottle-nose might be reciprocated. As the title suggests, underwater photographer and conservationist Ciampi (he filmed Flipper) is a member of the liberal camp. Not a scientist, Ciampi builds his case mostly on personal observation -- of the porpoises' love of play, their ability to learn from watching other porpoises perform and their reluctance to harm man (even when their babies are being captured). Also from observation, he recreates a battle between porpoises and sharks and offers examples of the extraordinary discriminatory powers of echolocation. Though many chapters -- on intelligence, on the possibility of using trained porpoises to guide fishermen, etc. -- must end with a question mark, Ciampi's anecdotes, buttressed by excellent photographs, are an agreeably informal introduction to the intriguing mysteries of porpoise behavior. Library Binding, Label: Grosset & Dunlap, Grosset & Dunlap, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 1974-08, Studio: Grosset & Dunlap, Verkaufsrang: 16197512.
