Dear colleagues, I am pleased to announce the release of my new book: DOLPHIN CONFIDENTIAL: CONFESSIONS OF A FIELD BIOLOGIST (216 pages | 71 line drawings | Chicago University Press © 2012) Review Quotes <http://www.press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/D/bo10896892.html#tab- quotes> ³Maddalena Bearzi impresses me with her capabilities and passion as a marine mammal scientist and her clear and erudite manner of expressing the interface between science and an emotional sense of the animals she studies. I recommend this beautifully illustrated book to the starry-eyed juvenile would-be marine biologist, to those of us beginning our twilight years who may need a reminder of how we started and what this should mean in a larger sense of helping fragile Earth, and to all those academically and environmentally minded in between.²Bernd Würsig, Texas A&M University at Galveston ³I simply love this book. In Dolphin Confidential, renowned scientist Maddalena Bearzi tells us what it is like to be a field researcher and what it is like to be a dolphin, the ups and downs of daily life, and her excitement about learning just who these fascinating animals are. Bearzi¹s science is impeccable, and her book is an easy read for those who want to share her and the dolphin¹s lives.²Marc Bekoff, author of Wild Justice ³This is a delightful chronicle of a young ocean lover¹s journey to turn her passion into a career in science, and that scientist¹s coming-of-age as she observes an ocean changing around her and the creatures she has come to love and defend. I found it both relaxing and energizing, all at the same time.²Carl Safina, author of Song for the Blue Ocean You can check the Chicago University Press website for more information about this book: http://www.press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/D/bo10896892.html Now available in Amazon (US and Europe): http://www.amazon.com/Dolphin-Confidential-Confessions-Field-Biologist/dp/02 26040151/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1321726449&sr=1-1 Sincerely, Maddalena Bearzi, Ph.D. Ocean Conservation Society, President P.O.
