Dear fellow seawatchers:

Cetacean theme here but I am sure many of you will be interested....

Ethical wildlife publishing house WILDGuides are running pre-
Christmas special offer discounts on all of their whale and dolphin
publications, including books, CD-Roms, and posters – available at
www.wildguides.co.uk

A discount also applies to their newest publication, entitled `Whales
and Dolphins of the European Atlantic'. This second edition of this
bestselling field guide to European cetaceans is available for the
first time in landscape format, and incorporates lots of new and
innovative ideas, including:

• Maximum use of photographs and artwork to clearly illustrate
the comparative features of these challenging animals, using the
minimum of text.
• For the first time in any field guide to cetaceans, the
authors have solved the problem of judging size and scale at sea,
with information on judging distance and the placing of a Northern
Gannet (Sula bassana) on all plates for a realistic size comparison.
• The maps are comprehensive and up-to-date, with a significant
amount of new information incorporated since the 1st edition.
• Finally, this guide incorporates the very latest information
on identification techniques, including four species not known from
the region when the first book was published in 2001.

Further information on the book is available at:

WILDGuides is a not-for-profit publishing house specialising in
natural history guides, using the latest digital photographic
techniques. Our objective is to raise funds for conservation through
the proceeds of sales either by linking each title to a specific
charity or trust, or by means of annual awards to conservation work
in a particular part of the world. Our titles range from specific
identification of flora and fauna in particular family groups, to
traveller's guides designed to enhance the visitor experience to the
location concerned.
