Communication Between Man and Dolphin, by John C. Lilly

Communication Between Man and Dolphin, by John C. Lilly. 1978 hardcover. 269 pages, very nice condition.

“Here is the fascination of exploring a new frontier -- communication with ocean mammals. Here are descriptions of exciting experiments and the immense possibilities they evoke. Here is startling information about mammal brains and their functioning. Dr. Lilly recounts the results of research to the present, describes the programs now being undertaken, and predicts potential future relationships between man and dolphin.”

“A dolphin can open his blowhole in the air and produce sounds; however, he does this only in the presence of humans who speak in air. We discovered that dolphins will try to mimic and improve their copies of human speech in the presence of humans who speak to them loudly. The dolphin's ability to use his communicative sound in man's presence is not unexpected when his large brain is compared with that of the human.”

I think dude likes dolphins…I mean REALLY likes dolphins.
