Through dolphins, we can see the best and worst of mankind.
On average, seventy four dolphins wash up on the Gulf of Mexico’s north shore every year. In the first half of 2012, there were eight hundred and ninety-one of them, with stillborn baby dolphins washing up at ten times the average yearly rate. The cause? BP’s disastrous oil spill in 2010.
For decades mankind’s actions have led to the deaths of thousands of these beautiful creatures and this continues now, at a time when we know more about them than we ever have before. We know about their intelligence, abilities, and their culture. We know how similar to us they really are.
In her most provocative book yet, Susan Casey takes us into an underwater world that is similar to our own in ways no other animal’s world is. We’re at a crossroads now where we could end up destroying these beautiful creatures, and our relationship with nature has become so dysfunctional that it jeopardizes our own existence. By combining her own personal narrative with her in-depth scientific research, Casey delivers a narrative which is both compassionate and thrilling.

Voices in the Ocean Susan Casey Reviews
Beautifully written.....such insight into dolphins and their contact with humans. Each new chapter invited me to want to swim with them. Book allows reader to question our relationship with them and our responsibility as well. The intelligence of them is astounding! I found the relationship between man and dolphin beyond the physical and into the realm of supernatural.
I purchased this book as a CD set to listen during my daily commute. This book was riveting and extremely fascinating. This was the first book I read by Susan Casey, and I plan on purchasing more of her reads. The book was very detailed and a great learning tool for anyone interested in the cetacea order. It really awakened me to the current plight of these mammals. Get it, it’s really captivating!
Once again she has nailed it. An impassioned work told with eloquence about a subject of urgency for our souls and their place in the natural community. A voice of conscience at a time when it's most needed. Keep writing and speaking out, we need your voice of reason and compassion.
The is an unsettling book to read. As hard as I tried to appreciate and “enjoy” it, its content was predominantly al the painful experiences that humans have caused to dolphins. The point is well-taken that they have superior intelligence, which makes the suffering all the more painful to witness. I couldn’t endure the entire book.
Enlightening and upsetting. This report of the author's contacts with dolphins maked me want to jump in with a pod of them and see of i can make friends with them.Their habits of taking care of others including humans were a big surprise. I have done a lot of scuba diving but never been able to spend more than a few minutes with a few Dolphins. Being with a pod is clearly a different experience.
The horrifying part of the story is how they are being slaughtered by the hundreds ..
Leaving the question.. Could we do anything about this massacre?
Another book that adds to my misanthropy. I would love to read about an improved ecosystem or an end to our exploitation of nature but every book on this and similar subjects saps my little remaining optimism.
Voices in the Ocean is a beautiful exploration by a passionate author of the current state of cetaceans and the health of the oceans. Although she explores the wackier new age world of dolphin "worship" she does so with clear eyes and fairness. Her reporting on dolphin slaughters, exacerbated by profit sucking marine circuses, will break your heart.
Voices will leave you saddened, but hopefully more aware of the sad way we interact with our natural world - at our own peril.
I couldn't stop reading this book. Susan Casey is an amazing writer with a love of Dolphins that goes beyond the norm. Her research for this book will change your mind on Dolphins in captivity. I too am a diver and have experienced Dolphins in the wild and in captivity, but I always felt they "needed to be seen in order to stimulate an interest in saving them".....this book changed my mind completely and I now feel strongly about releasing them back into their natural habitat from aquariums, amusement parks, etc. and allow those dear ones to be free. Of course there are exceptions, like those who have been born in captivity and would not survive release, but overall - they belong in the ocean. I am sick to my stomach that I actually paid money to "ride on their backs" in confined areas and contributed to the heinous act of their capture and display. Compassionately written - there is no doubt the author is concerned for the Dolphins wellbeing. A must read!!!! I am now going to read her book on sharks.
I'd give it 10 stars if I could! Author Casey writes a book everyone should read .....We ordered 9 copies the day we heard it was dropped.
