|  | To Touch a Wild Dolphin by Rachele Smolker
In TO TOUCH A WILD DOLPHIN, Smolker recounts her 15 years of living and working in Monkey Mia, Australia--a haven where wild dolphins dwell and often interact with humans. Her story's more technical aspects--regarding the mental and linguistic capabilities of these marine mammals--are underpinned by the numerous anecdotes about individual dolphins that Smolker came to know over the years.
