“Full of stunning underwater photography, fascinating facts and
shark-reverant prose.”—Los Angeles Times
“Brian Skerry has devoted much of his career to capturing, in his
words, ‘intimate portraits’ of sharks. In his new book, Shark, you
can come along for the ride to the shallow waters of Cape Cod, the
shores of New Zealand’s North Island, and the mangroves of the
Bahamas. This book not only lets you see these ancient predators in
their native habitat, it provides the kinds of facts and context
that satisfies the curiosity of novices and shark junkies alike.
Driven by a sense of urgency that these species are under threat,
Skerry has assembled a set of stunning images that show exactly
what’s now at stake.”—Juliet Eilperin, Washington Post staff writer
and author of Demon Fish: Travels Through the Hidden World of
Sharks
“Powerful images bring to life the reality of these ocean predators
and the plights they face for survival…fascinating, hair-raising
and inspiring…The book reminds readers that saving sharks isn't
simply about doing the right thing, it's also about doing something
critical to the overall health of the sea” –Mother Nature Network
