Good

Purely a reference book--not something you'd read for fun. As a reference, I'm not sure how good it is because I haven't tried to go to any of the places it describes.

Probably the fact I found most interesting is the tidbit about whales never fully falling asleep since they are conscious breathers, imagine having to think about every breath you ever took! While the research was fascinating, there was nothing like visiting each location and sharing the wildlife experience with other like minded people who were on their own wildlife advent...
