About this listen
THIS REVOLUTIONARY AUDIOBOOK FEATURES PREVIOUSLY UNHEARD BLUE WHALE VOICES, DOLPHIN ORCHESTRAS AND SOUNDBATHS FROM BENEATH THE SEA.
Wildlife filmmaker Tom Mustill had always liked whales. But when one breached onto his kayak, nearly killing him, he became obsessed.
This book traces his extraordinary investigation into the deep ocean and the cutting-edge science of animal translation.
What would it take to speak with a whale? Are we ready for what they might say?

One of the most emotionally charged science books of the decade.
This is an absolute must read for anyone even slightly interested in our natural world, or in the possibility of contact with an alien race. What a breath taking work with a brilliant incorporation of whale song into the audio version!

unlike any other.
inspirational, motivational and informative are just a few of the words that describe this book.
The author is not hesitant to use bold language, which was very refreshing.
As a biology student, someone who aims to become a wildlife filmamker and a conservationist, this book generated emotions and thoughts that fuel my passion for such path.
Thank you Tom!
