Why Sharks Matter: A Deep Dive with the World’s Most Misunderstood Predator

byDavid Shiffman

David Shiffman, will show you how—and why—we should protect these mysterious, misunderstood guardians of the ocean. Using scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, Why Sharks Matter moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Why Sharks Matter within nature and science, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. Readers come away with both the essential context and a sharper sense of how the deep dive with the world’s most misunderstood predator continues to shape the present.
