This scientific memoir by an aquarium researcher "illuminate[s] the world of the dolphin's amazing intelligence and playfulness." -- Temple Grandin

"One comes away from Reiss's book agreeing that 'dolphins are among the smartest creatures on the planet' and that they merit not just our attention but our care and protection." -- The New York Times

Dolphins are creative and self-aware, with distinct personalities and the ability to communicate with humans. They craft their own toys, use underwater keyboards, and live in complex societies throughout the seas. And yet, some nations continue to slaughter them indiscriminately.

Diana Reiss is one of the world's leading experts on dolphin intelligence. Her decades of research and interactions with dolphins have made her a strong advocate for their global protection. In The Dolphin in the Mirror, Reiss demonstrates just how smart dolphins really are, and makes a compelling case for why we must protect them.

"Reiss, who served as an adviser on the Oscar-winning 2009 film 'The Cove'... writes passionately about the need to protect these sentient creatures." -- The Washington Post

"Reiss fills the book with such intriguing tales and with the science behind them... Reiss is passionate about her science, but she is passionate about her subjects as well." -- The Tampa Bay Times

"Her enthusiasm is contagious." -- Publishers Weekly

"Reiss has managed no small feat -- synthesizing personal experience, descriptive material, and scientific fact... No one reading this book could possibly remain untouched by the beauty and intelligence of these powerful mammals of the sea." -- Irene Pepperberg, author of Alex & Me
