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.

Far off the coast of California looms a harsh rock known as the island of San Nicholas. Dolphins flash in the blue waters around it, sea otter play in the vast kep beds, and sea elephants loll on the stony beaches. Here, in the early 1800s, according to history, an Indian girl spent eighteen years alone, and this beautifully written novel is her story. It is a romantic adventure filled with drama and heartache, for not only was mere subsistence on so desolate a spot a near miracle, but Karana had to contend with the ferocious pack of wild dogs that had killed her younger brother, constantly guard against the Aleutian sea otter hunters, and maintain a precarious food supply. More than this, it is an adventure of the spirit that will haunt the reader long after the book has been put down. Karana's quiet courage, her Indian self-reliance and acceptance of fate, transform what to many would have been a devastating ordeal into an uplifting experience. From loneliness and terror come strength and serenity in this Newbery Medal-winning classic.
This book will tell you about impressive encounters between a human being and dolphins. It is the story of a woman named Ocean, who has dedicated her life to the oceans and life in these waters. It is a meditation in itself, will move you deeply. The heart will open up to all the beauty and the indispensible gifts oceans and seas gift us with. The land with all its life cannot exist without the water with all its life. Ocean rightfully urges us to treat the treasures of the ocean and sea life with respect. This book aims at being a source of inspiration, information and education; it connects us to the essence of life, shows us the role of dolphins in this, and offers guidelines for “heart and hand”. It is meant to be a practical guide with simple solutions and a supportive beacon, based on decades of the author's own experience, for people who still wish to visit the natural habitat of dolphins. She shares these experiences to keep and protect these treasures, as a gift of life to life, and, most of all, to nurture the dolphin-heart. The energy of dolphins and whales is always present on Earth and will be resonating forever. Dolphins and whales are the bearers of pure and clear consciousness. This makes them highly sensitive; the power of their love raises the frequency of our planet. Text and pictures place the reader directly in the now. All proceeds of this book, talks, and workshops are used integrally for the protection of dolphins and whales and organizations supporting this cause.About the AuthorOcean became the pioneer for Belgium and the Netherlands for communication and interaction with the wild dolphins, with whom she has a deep inner contact and an extraordinary relationship. Water is her element and since her childhood she dreamed of swimming with dolphins. When theosophy came into her life, her heart's desire was to get to know great people personally, and this happened. Frequently she spent time in the company of these Great Beings such as Mother Teresa and Lame Deer, a well-known North American Indian shaman. She was surrounded by great yoga masters from all over the world. They were her guiding light to the dolphins. When she met movie maker Armando Acosta, the flame was rekindled to swim with dolphins and then everything gained momentum when Indra Devi 'the first lady of yoga' crossed her path.For the last 25 years she has travelled to sacred sites around the world in Asia, Central and South America, Europe and Egypt. In a professional way she guides the unique encounter between dolphins and human beings in their search for their inner truth and destiny. Meanwhile she has become their protector and ambassador worldwide.Ocean says, “Dolphins are a spontaneous manifestation of love. They are here on Earth to cultivate the language of the heart." Ocean lives within this spontaneous manifestation of love and shares this love with anyone who is ready to receive its message. Her biggest concern is to protect the dolphins in their natural habitat. If dolphins are treated in a loving and respectful manner, taken care of and protected, the huge amount of debt humankind has built up through abusing, molesting and killing all kinds of animals is also transformed.

Schneider Family Book Award-winning author Ginny Rorby has created an irresistible dolphin story about a girl's struggle to help her autistic brother and herself. Lily loves her half-brother, Adam, but she has always struggled with him, too. He's definitely on the autism spectrum -- though her step-father, Don, can barely bring himself to admit it -- and caring for him has forced Lily to become as much mother as sister. All Lily wants is for her step-father to acknowledge that Adam has a real issue, that they need to find some kind of program that can help him. Then maybe she can have a life of her own. Adam's always loved dolphins, so when Don, an oncologist, hears about a young dolphin with cancer, he offers to help. He brings Lily and Adam along, and Adam and the dolphin -- Nori -- bond instantly. But though Lily sees how much Adam loves Nori, she also sees that the dolphin shouldn't spend the rest of her life in captivity, away from her family. Can Adam find real help somewhere else? And can Lily help Nori regain her freedom without betraying her family?
