More DescriptionThe intimate relations between sharks and people are captured in the amazing pages of Sharks and People, and at the hand of Thomas Peschak. Trained initially as a marine biologist, who worked on shark conservation, he then became a conservation photographer, and is now a contributing photographer to National Geographic. This book is organized into sections that outline our primary encounters with sharks, which are then brought to life in stunning photography. The author explores our fear, our deep history with sharks, but perhaps more importantly, the trends in shark conservation--the establishment of sanctuaries and the ongoing import of shark tourism.
