Acerca de esta escucha

In this remarkable, groundbreaking audiobook, a documentarian and conservationist, determined to dispel misplaced fear and correct common misconceptions, explores in-depth the secret lives of sharks - magnificent creatures who play an integral part in maintaining the health of the world’s oceans and ultimately the planet.

From the Jaws blockbusters to Shark Week, we are conditioned to see sharks as terrifying, cold-blooded underwater predators. But as Safeguard the Seas founder William McKeever reveals, sharks are evolutionary marvels essential to maintaining a balanced ecosystem. We can learn much from sharks, he argues, and our knowledge about them continues to grow. The first to reveal in full the hidden lives of sharks, Emperors of the Deep examines four species - mako, tiger, hammerhead, and great white - as never before and includes fascinating details such as:

  • Sharks are 50 million years older than trees;
  • Sharks have survived five extinction-level events, including the one that killed off the dinosaurs;
  • Sharks have electroreception, a sixth sense that lets them pick up on electric fields generated by living things;
  • Sharks can dive 4,000 feet below the surface;
  • Sharks account for only six human fatalities per year, while humans kill 100 million sharks per year.

McKeever goes back through time to probe the shark’s prehistoric secrets and how it has become the world’s most feared and most misunderstood predator and takes us on a pulse-pounding tour around the world and deep under the water’s surface, from the frigid waters of the Arctic Circle to the coral reefs of the tropical Central Pacific, to see sharks up close in their natural habitat. He also interviews ecologists, conservationists, and world-renowned shark experts, including the founders of Greenpeace’s Rainbow Warrior, the head of the Massachusetts Shark Research Program, and the self-professed “last great shark hunter”.

At once a deep dive into the misunderstood world of sharks and an urgent call to protect them, Emperors of the Deep celebrates this wild species that holds the key to unlocking the mysteries of the ocean - if we can prevent their extinction from climate change and human hunters.

Very informative!

If everything you know about sharks comes from reading (or watching) Jaws, then you should treat yourself to this very different perspective on the apex predators of the oceans. It was a fascinating and educational read. I certainly won’t look at sharks the same way again, but that doesn’t mean I’m ready to go swimming with them either.

This book really gives you an insight on what's going on in the wolrd as it pertains to declining and culling of sharks and other species around the world. It really helps to soften your heart and to join the fight against illegal fishing and the fight to preserve the marine ecosystem and the shark population as a whole. It has definitely opened my mind and my heart to the masters of the ocean. I look forward to the next great listen!

excellent book highly recommend
however this book is 60% ocean conservation
not 100% shark
very well written and from real experience
And without fact checking every detail I would say very accurate.
I highly recommend this book

Great book, misleading title

Although I'm not a scientist, I could still point out a few statements that are incorrect. The majority of this read has up to date facts on sharks and I even learned some new and interesting ones as well. Listening to story's of personal shark encounters will never get old in my mind. If you are looking to know more about sharks, this is a great book for you!

Great Information
