Reviews
...helps us to become familiar with the real story of sharks as well as other fascinating species. We meet sand tiger sharks, scalloped hammerhead sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, southern stingrays, nurse sharks, skates, plus pygmy and hound sharks. Jeff Rotman has photographed around 100 of the 400+ different kinds of sharks; many of them are shown in this series of shark books.-- NSTA Recommends Centered on the experiences photographer and diver Jeff Rotman, this set offers exciting insight into the world of sharks. Information on diving, photography, and Rotman's life are interwoven with plenty of facts about the animals he studies. . . .With their focus on more spectacular species, Seeking Giant Sharks and Great White Shark have the highest appeal, but all four books are fresh looks at an always popular subject.-- School Library Journal

She works with scientists and ocean advocates to explain scientific research and environmental issues to the public, with the goal of motivating others to protect the ocean. At times she has literally immersed herself in her work, diving among sharks in the Bahamas, studying dolphin behavior at the Dolphin Research Center in Florida, and most recently, exploring the connection between volcanoes and the ocean on the island of Hawaii. Mary has written 21 award-winning books about the ocean for children. She has worked with kids, teachers, and other ocean lovers for more than 40 years, from her first job at the New England Aquarium in Boston, to two decades with Friends of Casco Bay, an environmental advocacy organization in South Portland, Maine.
