Product Information

Dolphin Way begins with the mysterious death of Born Into Summer, a young friend of the book’s protagonist, Touches The Sky. It expands into a conflict between The Way, a quixotic code of conduct that has kept dolphins eco-friendly pacifists for millennia, and the rapid toxification of the ocean that is pushing it towards obsolescence. Touches The Sky’s natural habitat is becoming a more violent and competitive place, and throughout his adventures Sky makes discovery after discovery leading him to believe that this is all thanks to those destructive, wasteful humans up above. The zetii distinguish between different species of dolphins and name each of them. Each has its own language and customs and they are often quite different. For example, the river dolphin species have a fairly simple society and culture compared to some of their ocean-going cousins.

Dolphins have a few predators in the natural world, essentially some larger sharks and orcas — and they take relatively few dolphins. Over the last couple of centuries Man has created a much wider range of threats which have dramatically altered the risks that dolphins face.

People confuse Tigers with having high expectations – but this is confined to short-term performance only. Life is not a series of competitions confined to a structured Tiger arena like a math test or piano competition. There is little obvious difference between dolphins and porpoises. The simplest way to differentiate them is to look at their teeth. Dolphin teeth are round in cross-section whereas porpoise teeth are flat.

Children of Jellyfish parents fail to develop impulse control and are at risk of poor social skills, risk-taking behaviors, and substance use. Many of the prevalent parenting styles today describe parents that “take over.” Whether it is the “Amy Chua-like” Tiger parent pushing piano, the Helicopter parent hovering over homework, the Bubble Wrap parent over-protecting, or the Snow-Plough parent shoving all obstacles out of the way – all of these models create an environment of external The Dolphin Waycontrol and thereby diminish a child’s sense of internal control and self-motivation. Thus, I call ALL these styles “Tiger parents” because they are all authoritarian in nature. Children of such authoritarian tiger parents are at risk of anxiety, depression, entitlement, poor decision making, and have difficulty establishing healthy independence. Dolphins can obtain a good mental picture of an object based on the return echoes of their sonar. It is likely that a dolphin might be able to use this ability passively; for example listening to the reflection of another dolphin’s sonar and interpreting the ‘image’ it provides. This leads to an intriguing possibility. Scientist have leaned that dolphins are amazing vocal mimics and can, for example, reproduce manmade whistle structures with precise accuracy. It has been suggested that if a dolphin could mimic the sound of a returning echo from an object, and create that sound within hearing of another dolphin, then the second dolphin would receive a simulated image of the original object. In other words, they could transmit images by sound. We have no firm evidence that this happens at this point however.

Around 50 million years ago, certain four-legged land creatures started spending more and more of their time in water. (An animal that there are fossil records of from around this time named Pakicetus may represent this initial stage). For some reason, this change must have suited them, as they gradually evolved, and their bodies changed form, so that they eventually lost the ability to move onto the land at all. An interim stage in this development is represented by the Protocetids and examples of the first exclusively aquatic dwelling form are the Durudon and the 60 foot/18 metre long Basilosaurus. They lived some 38 million years ago.

About 30 million years ago, Squalodon appeared; a toothed whale. Although it probably was not a direct ancestor of dolphins, it appeared to use echolocation, a key attribute that would become a vital skill later to modern dolphins.Not surprisingly, this same study showed that other important predictors of being “happy-well” were important lifestyle factors such as not smoking, little use of alcohol, regular exercise, and maintenance of normal weight.
