Emperors of the Deep by William Mckeever
Sharks are ruthlessly efficient predators, the apex of 450 million years of evolution. They are older than trees, have survived five extinction events and are essential to maintaining balanced ocean ecosystems, but how much do we really know about their lives?‘A must-read for anyone in love with our oceans and concerned with averting the looming ecological destruction of our planet … Brings to light the importance of sharks and their role as ancient guardians of the seas’
John Hocevar, Oceans Campaign Director, Greenpeace USA
‘Emperors of the Deep is a heartfelt tribute to the shark. When McKeever finally comes face to face with a great white, the monster of his childhood nightmares, his fear is gloriously transformed to awe, as he steals a glimpse of “a steadfast guardian of the world's oceans”’ Philip Hoare, Spectator
‘The plight of a much maligned predator is revealed in this heartfelt plea to respect the life in our oceans’ PD Smith, Guardian
‘A wonderful new book covering the biology of sharks, their ecological importance, and the threats they face … It puts forth an incredible amount of effort into educating a reader that has limited prior knowledge on the subject – a fantastic beginner read’ BBC Wildlife magazine
William McKeever lives in New York City, where he writes books and produces films about ocean conservation. This book is a result of his two-year journey around the world to reveal sharks in a new light. His feature-length documentary about sharks – also titled Emperors of the Deep – Is forthcoming.
