I have spent most of my life working with whales and dolphins and other ocean creatures in more than 40 countries. I have also worked in the rain forest — looking at ant societies and rain forest ecosystems. I love new frontiers and I see my writing as a chance to explore the outer edges of what we know about wild animals, the ocean and the Earth; to give a voice to these other, not lesser, lives; and to try to shape in a positive way the human relationship to wild nature.

Please feel free to visit any of the links on this page. The books section gives you a preview of the books I have written. My blog has up-to-date news about projects, recent lectures, campaigns, passions and musings on this and that. More info offers downloads of papers, articles, reports, poster-maps and whale and dolphin sounds. See the talks page for more about the talks and presentations I give.

Children are invited to check out the kids’ corner for weird whale facts, ocean fun, dolphin downloads (and much more!) For more about a special free offer for school and public libraries, click here.
