Request for information & references:

I would be interested in obtaining information of the various species of
whales (most of all dolphins, the orca and the humpback whale) but being
a layman when it comes to biology and zoology I could use some info as to
where I should start to dig up information. References to books and (at
this stage) review articles would be appreciated; a good SciAm article might
be good thing to start with...
My interest is not related to professional or scientific activities. I simply
want to learn more and more first-hand information, than the TV-documentaries
and layman articles tend to provide. Please send your replies directly to me 
in addition to possible posting to sci.bio, as I don't read sci.bio regularly.

Best regards,
