Review & Description
Dolphins aren’t just beloved; they are brilliant and conscious. So why do we treat them so terribly? Both in her moving writing and through seven video clips illustrating her interactions with dolphins, Diana Reiss show us just how smart dolphins really are and why we must stop mistreating them. As one of the world’s leading experts on dolphin intelligence and a prominent dolphin rescuer who helped inspire and served as an adviser for the Oscar-winning film The Cove, Reiss combines science and activism. Readers will be astonished at dolphins’ sophisticated lifelong creativity and playfulness, their emotional intelligence, their level of self-awareness, and their ability to communicate with humans. In the videos, we see Reiss’s beloved mentor dolphins (as she calls them), each with distinct personalities, creating their own toys, using underwater keyboards, teasing and scolding her playfully, and permitting us to glimpse their surprisingly familiar mindfulness. The Dolphin in the Mirror is both a scientific revelation and an emotional eye-opener, revealing one of the greatest intelligences on the planet.
