While swimming off the coast of Maui, Susan Casey was surrounded by a pod of spinner dolphins. Scientists still don’t completely understand their incredibly sophisticated navigation and communication abilities, or their immensely complicated brains. In recent decades, we have learned that dolphins recognize themselves in reflections, count, grieve, adorn themselves, feel despondent, rescue one another (and humans), deduce, infer, seduce, form cliques, throw tantrums, and call themselves by name.

From Susan Casey, the New York Times bestselling author of The Wave and The Devil’s Teeth, a breathtaking journey through the extraordinary world of dolphins
