Shark by Mike Coots (Hardcover)

"A global shift from fright to endearment is happening and the world is falling in love with sharks as risk of their endangerment increases. Coots, who was nearly killed by a tiger shark as a teenager and has since dedicated his life to capturing and sharing sharks' beauty and indispensable role in a healthy ocean, gets up close and very personal with the magnificent creatures, presenting his unique perspective through portraits exposing their both their brawn and their brains. Traveling the world (Hawaii, Mexico, New Zealand, Bahamas' and Maldives), free-diving and scuba-diving, often in an open cage, Coots has recorded Tigers, Great Hammerheads, rare Oceanic White Tips, Lemons, Silvertips, Caribbean Reef Sharks, and massive Great Whites, as big as fourteen feet in length"--
