Solid, dense, and rich in information, this compilation makes a valuable contribution to the global literature on whale-watching. There is a degree of overlap amongst its 25 chapters, and its themes and geographic coverage reflect the origins and interests of its 48 contributors. Review chapters include relevant literature worldwide, but the coverage of case study chapters is less comprehensive. In addition, in order to squeeze so many words into 387 pages, the publishers have picked a font that almost qualifies it as a microfiche, definitely a false economy.Solid, dense, and rich in information, this compilation makes a valuable contribution to the global literature on whale-watching.
