To Free a Dolphin
Richard O'Barry , and Keith Coulbourn Manufacturer: Renaissance Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 1580631029 |
Book Description
In this memorable first book, Behind the Dolphin Smile, Richard O'Barry told the inspiring story of his personal transformation from world-famous dolphin trainer (Flipper was his pupil) to dolphin liberator. Now, in To Free a Dolphin, he passionately recounts the dramatic story of his heart-breaking campaign to release captive dolphins back into the wild. With wit and insight he chronicles the extreme opposition he has faced from bureaucrats, major players in the captive-dolphin industry, rival wildlife groups, and well-meaning sentimentalists. He introduces readers to famous show animals he has helped, including Bogie and Bacall of Key Largo. And, most fascinating, he describes his struggles to deprogram and rehabilitate dolphins emotionally scarred from years of captivity--struggles that become battles for the animals' souls.O'Barry is nothing if not controversial--passionate about his mission, adamant in his beliefs. And it is some measure of the incredible strength of the opposition to animal rights that it requires all the cunning, all the persistence, and all the strength of character O'Barry possesses to undo even a part of what the billion-dollar captive-animal establishment has created. In the movie, it may be child's play to free a killer whale like Willy. In real life, doing what is right is not so easily accomplished. Whatever one's beliefs about animal rights, one has to admire O'Barry as an authentic American original with a distinctly American dream.Customer Reviews:
This book made me want to go out and free dolphins!..........2002-12-02
And another thing. Disney makes all these movies about whales, whales, whales. Free Willy. Free Willy 2. Free Willy 33 1/3. Well, don't THEY care about freeing dolphins? NO! Why? Because they're all about making money! And studies show that young kids would rather cuddle a plush killer whale than a plush dolphin! It's the merchandising.
Anyway, after reading this review you should be ready to buy my^D^D the book and free some dolphins. After all, fish are people too!

A wealth of information for bladesmiths.......2000-10-09
For the beginning or intermediate bladesmiths, this book is worth every dollar for the value of the information alone. For inspiration, there are a number of colour plates in the book to display Goddard's lovingly-crafted knives. Well written, easy-to-understand, plenty of photographs, and overall, a great pleasure to read. Just wish it was better organized.
Review of Wayne's new book, "The Wonder of Knifemaking".......2000-06-16
All of the techniques, materials and processes are complete and more importantly up to date. Wayne covers the Crucible partical metallurgy steels (CPM) and steels that are currently in vogue such as BG-42 and ATS-34 as well as old standbys like 5160, 52100, O-1, and D-2 (to name a few).
While not a reference book, "The Wonder of Knifemaking" could easily serve a knifemaker in that capacity. If I could only have one knifemaking book (believe me, I have them all; even the little paperback from Atlanta Cutlery and Bob Engnath's Catalog, God bless him) it would be "The Wonder of Knifemaking" by Wayne Goddard.
I rated this book 4 Stars because the organization could have been a little better. There is so MUCH information in so many places in such a short span. Ok...Ok, I'm writing a critical review here and this is the only thing I can fault. I just didn't want this piece to read like a commercial from the Wayne Goddard Fan Club. If you are a knifemaker, buy this book.
In Summary, I think Wayne just wanted to get everything he has discovered, learned, or worked-out in his 20++ years of knifemaking onto paper for everyone to have; that's the kind of guy he is. Oh boy did he do an excellent job.

Lagenscheidt's Pocket French Dictionary.......1999-12-03
Lagenscheidt's French Dictionary allowed me to refresh my memory and revive the French language I learned early in my life. I was able to use the dictionary and converse with the Tahitians easily and without difficulty. I received compliments on my French language from the Tahitians-they thought I was born in Moorea!
The dictionary fits in my small purse and the book cover is easy to wipe clean, if you spill a drink on it. Tahitians I know living in Moorea think Langenscheidt's book should be sold in Moorea and Papeete, Tahiti for all tourists visiting the Society Archipelagos.
I highly recommend this dictionary to travelers traveling to French Polynesia or France. Important Note! Just remember, in French Polynesia, everyone addresses each other with "Tu" rather than "Vous" like in Paris, France.
So, please look up all the verbs that addresses using "Tu" by looking in the back of the book for "Tu" & the verb configuration for "Tu" on the chart. It's so easy to use and the dictionary is not complicated to understand. I used my dictionary everyday and I earned the respect of the Tahitians!
Thank you, Amazon.com for my $15.00 gift certificate to purchase my Langenscheidt's Pocket French Dictionary! You are too cool for words!
