"In the beautifully illustrated Encyclopedia of Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises, award-winning author and whale researcher Erich Hoyt takes readers into the field for an intimate encounter with the roughly 90 species of cetaceans that live in the world’s oceans…. His impassioned argument for the ongoing need for international protection of at-risk populations and their increasingly damaged habitat is impossible to ignore."

“My mission is to show Canadians, and the world, our little country. The more they see something of Canada’s grandeur and diversity of its people, the more they will appreciate it.”
