The Dolphin House
Atrocity Guide
Atrocity Guide covers the 1965 dolphin experiments of Dr. John C. Lilly and Margaret Howe, who tried to teach dolphins English. It traces the bizarre methods and Lilly's later drug-fueled beliefs.
HN recommends it as a decent, entertaining summary of Lilly's life and work whenever dolphin communication research comes up.
