Shark: A Visual History Richard Ellis
Our customers say:
Shark: A Visual History
Richard Ellis
The image of the shark infiltrates our daily lives, from fighter planes to bedspreads, mascots to video games. They?re even used as supposed cancer cures, and served as delicacies in shark-fin soup. Our fear and need to dominate these predators is destroying the marine ecosystem, and Ellis proves the necessity of preserving these majestic creatures through over 100, full-color pages. Ellis adeptly turns these sleek, efficient hunters from monsters of the deep into rare, beautiful forces of nature.
