The Beaked Whales of the Family Ziphiidae
Frederick William True
Some whales are so seldom seen that science knows them mostly from bones washed onto a beach. Frederick True examines the beaked whales along both American coasts, describing the skulls and skeletons of these deep-diving mysteries, genus by genus. A careful monograph on some of the ocean's least-known giants. Surface briefly with the elusive whales of the open sea.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
