NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
"Part science, part memoir, part impassioned plea for change,
[Voices in the Ocean] fascinates." People
"Painstakingly researched and gorgeously written. . . . Casey
transports us through the many truths and myths about dolphins."
--USA Today
"Casey skillfully weaves global adventure travelogues, first-person
reportage and deep archival research. She exhibits a flair for
peppering her tales with complex scientific concepts but keeps them
accessible for consumption by a broader audience without losing the
narrative arc or momentum." --The Miami Herald "A
meticulously reported global odyssey. . . . [Casey] has an
inexhaustible curiosity and a knack for fully embracing her
subject." --Outside Magazine "A reminder of the unique and
complicated bond humans feel with these animals. . . . Casey's
moving writing left me with some hope for a better future for
dolphins and humans."
--Mary Bates, Slate "What starts out as a feel-good,
new-agey account darkens like the sunlight diminishing in the deep,
subtly turning into a devastating chronicle of one of the most
egregious mismatches in natural-human history. The result is a
brilliantly written and passionate book. . . . timely and
urgent."
--The Guardian (London) "A passionate and richly readable
account of dolphins--their world, their behaviors, and the humans
whose lives revolve around studying them. . . . Fascinating and
cautiously joyous . . . a book any lover of nature should
read."
--Open Letters Monthly "[A] blend of mystic wonder with
scientific awe and downright dangerous environmental
confrontations."
--InStyle "[Casey] embarks an investigation into the world
of dolphins, impressing the reader with her curiosity and thrilling
sense of discovery as she travels the world to learn about these
unique creatures."
--Publishers Weekly
