Hardcover (Original BlueCloth). Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: Poor. First Edition. This fascinating book is a description, by the man responsible for it, of what may be the beginning of a staggering scientific advance, the potentialities of which are incalculable; namely, the ability of man to communicate with another animal. Dr. John Lilly 's first experiments with cat and monkeys convinced him that, if he was to succeed in such an attempt to communicate, he must find an animal with a brain equal to or greater than the 'size of the human brain, and a body which was not much larger than a human body. Furthermore, he needed an animal that had (a) a compassionate attitude towards man, and (b) an advanced ability to vocalize. In 1949 he became interested in the whale family, and, shortly after that, his search narrowed down to the dolphin. He soon found facts which suggest that dolphins may have a language of their own. He confirmed that they have a system which enables them to detect objects at night or in murky water. He found, further, that they had very keen eye-sight, both under the water and on top of it (a fact which still puzzles him). They could hear extremely well under water but not very well in the air. In 1955 Dr. Lilly, and several of his associates who had worked on cats, dogs, monkeys, pigs, sheep and chim panzees, went to Marineland, Florida, to study the brains of dolphins.

John Cunningham Lilly (1915 2001) was an American physician, neuroscientist, psychoanalyst, psychonaut, philosopher, writer and inventor. He was a member of a generation of counterculture scientists and thinkers that included Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, and Werner Erhard, all frequent visitors to the Lilly home. He often stirred controversy, especially among mainstream scientists. Lilly conducted high-altitude research during World War II and later trained as a psychoanalyst. He gained renown in the 1950s after developing the isolation tank. He saw the tanks, in which users are isolated from almost all external stimuli, as a means to explore the nature of human consciousness. He later combined that work with his efforts to communicate with dolphins. He began studying how bottlenose dolphins vocalize, establishing centers in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and later San Francisco, to study dolphins. A decade later, he began experimenting with psychedelics, including LSD, often while floating in isolation. His work inspired two Hollywood movies, The Day of the Dolphin (1973) and Altered States (1980), as well as the video game series Ecco the Dolphin.
