Description
Sharks Up Close is a quest to reveal the true nature of sharks and promote the many reasons we must protect them. World-renowned marine life photographer and shark expert Jim Abernethy and award-winning author Jennifer R. Nolan collaborated on this book filled with captivating imagery and fascinating facts about sharks. Jim Abernethy brings firsthand knowledge about the behavior and plight of these animals and has literally forged relationships with countless sharks that are considered some of the most dangerous in the world—all in order to fulfill his life’s mission of proving they’re not out to hurt people and must be protected for a myriad of reasons. After decades of experience running shark expeditions—living at sea nearly year round since 1998—Jim knows better than most that they are misunderstood and in danger of extinction. Through Jim and Jennifer’s inspirational words, passion for the oceans, and Jim’s up close imagery, the reader is truly able to appreciate the magnificence and beauty of these majestic creatures.
Of the over 400 shark species that grace our oceans, many are in serious danger of extinction. With over ninety percent of the large predatory sharks wiped out, it’s time to make a conscience choice to better respect and protect these great creatures; not taking action will mean the next generation could witness their “final act.” Sharks need a worldwide audience that stands up for them and gives them a voice. Sharks Up Close provides a real education on shark behavior and anatomy, giving the reader insight as to why sharks behave the way they do. This page-turner is a “must” for reader’s young and old. As Jacques Cousteau said, “People protect what they love.” Sharks Up Close makes it easy to fall in love with these amazing creatures that have graced the oceans for over 415 million years. And this book will highlight all the reasons why protecting sharks is a win-win for all of humanity, we are all connected.
