A Book about Whales

In world literature, they often appear in stories that describe them as gigantic symbols of the power of nature, in contrast to the fragility of humans. In actual fact, the number of whale species in the oceans is really huge and finding out about the secrets of each one is a pleasure that not only children will appreciate in this book. Andrea Antinori’s black-and-white illustrations highlight the scientific aspects, from the evolution of these gigantic animals through to their various types of blow, showing how to distinguish between a right whale and a sperm whale or a humpback whale. This book initially came from a university research by the author, whose works are now issued by publishing houses right across Europe.   Andrea Antinori Un libro sulle balene Corraini, 2016
