After reviewing historical myths and legends of the dolphin back to the ancient Greeks and discussing current human attitudes and interactions, this replaces myths with facts - up-to-date scientific assessment of dolphin evolution, behaviour, ecology, morphology, reproduction, and genetics - while also tackling the difficult issues of dolphin conservation and management.
