Diving Deeper into the World of Whales: Read Books Written by Our Team

The Whale Trust Team is actively engaged in the world of communicating whale research and educating the community about whales. Books are a great way to communicate deeper information that can’t be conveyed in films or in a Whale Tales presentation. We are proud of what our team has accomplished in the world of publishing, and we look forward to growing our library of offerings soon.

Face to Face wtih Whales - Flip & Linda NicklinFace to Face with Whales
By Flip and Linda Nicklin

You slip over the side of your boat, descending deep into the dark realm of the Earth’s largest creature. Then the whale starts to sing, just feet away from you. You record the sounds, hoping one day to understand their language. Their music is a rare glimpse of this majestic mammal’s unknown world. National Geographic photographer, Flip Nicklin, brings you face to face with whales as they communicate, nurse their young, and surface dramatically for air.

Meet these intelligent, social creatures in their natural habitat; learn of the different kinds of whales, from humpbacks to belugas; discover how we can aid their recovery from years of overhunting; and how we can protect their environment.
