Description

From shark attack survivor to the shark’s biggest advocate, Paul de Gelder tells us just why these majestic diverse animals need our help as much as we need them.Something happens to you the first time you dive with sharks…We have a perennial fascination with sharks. Portrayed in the media and popular culture as killing machines, we are awed by their power and strength. But the shark is so much more – a marvel of the sea, they have evolved over 450 million years into over 500 species, from the bioluminescent kitefin to the tiny dwarf lantern shark, the sociable lemon shark to the cow shark, which can birth up to 100 pups in one litter. Bringing balance to the ocean’s ecosystem, our planet is at serious risk when these amazing creatures are threatened.Paul de Gelder, who lost two limbs in a shark attack during a mission as an elite Australian navy clearance diver, spent time as part of his recovery learning all about sharks. He became so obsessed that, despite what happened to him, he is now an expert and has dedicated his life to helping save them. Shark is his love-letter to these unfairly vilified animals, and his warning to the world about what will happen if we don’t look out for them. Read more

    • Loved it!
Format: Paperback
I’m not a nonfiction girlie, but I adored this book! I love watching Shark Week and sharks are my favorite animal. Paul de Gelder is one of my favorite hosts on Shark Week so when I saw this book I just had to get it. It was a super easy to read and interesting book. I loved that I got a bit more background about Paul and then more information about sharks that we know a lot about and some that we don’t know as much about. It’s kind of part memoir, part conservation, but all good! I guess there is a nonfiction book for everyone out there. ... show more

    • Love letter to sharks
Format: Hardcover
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. I love Paul de Gelder. I've known about him for several years because I'm obsessed with sharks and Shark Week. Paul went from being scared of sharks to attacked by one to loving and wanting to protect these beautiful animals. This book is his love letter basically to all things sharks. You will learn a lot about different shark types, eating habits, and so much more. ( Although, if, like me, you watch Shark Week religiously, there isn't much new in here you shouldn't know ) But not only does he help with learning more about sharks, he warns us about what will happen of things don't change. Sharks NEED to be protected. We all need to step up and do our part to help these beautiful animals from becoming extinct, which would cause harm for us. ... show more

    • Excellent Book
Format: Kindle
I listened to the audiobook version to hear Paul speak his own words. I do this whenever possible because I think it helps with the tone. I have not listened to his other books yet of his shark attack and recovery so I wasn't sure what to expect here. From Shark Week, I think we all feel we know a good portion of his story and his subsequent journey of veganism and activism. I enjoyed his book and I think he was able to portray the urgency of protecting the ocean and it's amazing beings with facts, humor and giving us resources to look into. I will very likely read his first books as well and be taking a bigger role in doing what I can to promote making better choices for Planet Earth. ... show more

Paul poured so much heart and soul into this book. This is a read that will dissolve your fear, turn it into fascination, and truly make you LOVE sharks. They are magnificent creatures, vital to our ecosystems and the survival of every living being on the planet. Sadly, they are incredibly misunderstood, and our ignorance will wipe them (and us) from the planet if we do not change our perception of these creatures, and our relationship with the place we all call home. This may be one of the most important, and most captivating reads of our time! Cannot recommend enough 💙 ... show more

    • A must read for everyone
Format: Kindle
Very well written and easy to read. I believe this should be a book that everyone should read - just to know how important sharks are. Very inspiring and this book could really motivate a lot of people to stand up for sharks and for the future of our planet.
