The Dolphin in the Mirror by Diana Reiss

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book was provided by the publisher for review purposes.



As a biologist, I had a great interest in reading The Dolphin in the Mirror. Diana Reiss describes how she was able to separate her scientific research from her personal interests throughout her time as a marine mammal researcher. Since journal articles only show one side of the story, this book is a great vehicle for her to discuss her personal ideas and feelings about her time with these animals. The book is well written and an easy read. Readers may feel that her attachment to the animals may be a little much, but I enjoyed it. I'll be recommending this book to my students interested in marine biology.
