Focusing on the conservation of gray whales in Mexico, Dedina (geography, Univ. of Arizona) describes the natural history and life cycles of these animals, their habitat, and the human ecology of Scammon's Lagoon and San Ignacio Lagoon in Baja California.

Here Am I-Where Are You?: The Behavior of the Greylag Goose
de Konrad Lorenz, Michael Martys, Angelika Tipler(Ed. Thomson Learning) Isbn : 0151400563
24.81 €
First published in German in 1988, this book not only "represents the most complete investigation to date of the ethnology of a higher organism and its system," but is also in a sense a personal memoir of Lorenz (1903-1989), whose studies of graylag geese in Germany and Austria spanned almost his whole life. Beginning with some general observation on animal behavior studies and a discussion of his own methodology, Lorenz continues with life histories of typical birds and two "ethograms" cataloging individual and social behaviors, and concludes with a philosophical chapter on goose-human analogies. Not an easy book, but accessible to informed laypersons as well as trained biologists, it belongs in most science collections.- Paul B. Cors, Univ. of Wyoming Lib., LaramieCopyright 1991 Reed Bus...
