Dive deep into the world of sharks, the most fascinating and
misunderstood marine animals on the planet, in this stunning new
edition of The Shark Handbook, written by Shark Week expert, Dr.
Greg Skomal. Did you know that a whale shark's spots are as unique

upside down? Or that the Megallodon's mouth was 6 feet across? With
The Shark Handbook, jump into brand new facts about these fierce
sea creatures! Explore all of the orders of sharks, such as: -
Ground sharks - Great white sharks - Mackerel sharks - Carpet
sharks - and more! Learn about over 400 profiles of every shark in
existence, from the first sharks living about 445 million years ago
to the ones lurking in the ocean deep today. Starring spectacular,
full-color photography that makes these jaw-dropping sharks come to
life, this is the perfect gift for the shark enthusiast in your
life. Dr. Greg Skomal, PhD is an experienced aquarist and Marine
Fisheries Biologist at Martha's Vineyard Fisheries, Division of

This book makes the connection between the tourism industry - as a
major engine of the world economy - and the realm of artificial
reefs, often inaccessible and forgotten by the public. By
stimulating both those who work and in tourism and in artificial
reefs to share experiences, transmit testimonies, make efforts, and
develop new innovative and value-creating possibilities for
society. This theme has great potential and impact. It allows
knowledge transfer between research science on artificial reefs,
companies, and the tourism sector, generating wealth for society.
This book is of interest to all entrepreneurs, researchers,
academics and students who work or are interested in exploring new
ways of developing and practicing tourism, using structures that
are submerged. The use of technologies developed by Industry 4.0
may have enormous potential in facilitating the establishment of
bridges between tourism and reef structures and maximizing this
potential.

methodologies on the cellular and molecular mechanisms within fish
biology for expermentation. The book provides different points of
view on how researchers have addressed timely issues, while
describing and dissecting some of the new experimental/analytical
approaches used to answer the key questions at cellular and
molecular levels, making this a valuable resource to those in
industry and academia as well as those entering the field.

About seventy-one per cent of the Earth's surface is water, and
even on dry land we remain closely connected to aquatic life. It
provides us with oxygen, food, medicine and materials. Wild
waterlife infiltrates our lives in many surprising ways. Every
other breath we take is filled with oxygen provided by
ocean-dwelling microscopic plants. A type of seaweed provides a
means to directly test whether people are infected with viruses,
including Covid-19. Robotics design takes inspiration from a pike's
ability to accelerate with greater g-force than a Porsche. Wild
Waters by Susanne Masters is a celebration of the breadth of
wildlife that can be found in and around our varied waterways, from
oceans and rivers to rock pools and ponds. Armchair explorers can
read a fascinating account of how aquatic plants and animals enrich
human life. Swimmers, paddleboarders, dog walkers, families and
anyone with a passion for the great outdoors can learn about local
wildlife, including when and where to look for different species
without causing any harm. With stunning illustrations by Alice
Goodridge, Wild Waters provides a tantalising insight into the
world beneath the surface.
The increasingly widespread production of toxins by marine and
freshwater microalgae raises serious concerns regarding seafood and
drinking water safety. This book compiles studies on the influence
of climate change on the spreading of toxin-producing species in
aquatic systems. The chemistry and biology of toxin production is
revised and an outlook on control and prevention of the toxins'
impact on human and animal health is given.
This book provides a detailed overview to the topic of

the study of natural resources on a global scale. The six volumes
in this set cover: Terrestrial Ecosystems and Biodiversity;
Landscape and Land Capacity; Wetlands and Habitats; Fresh Water and
Watersheds; Coastal and Marine Environments; and finally Atmosphere
and Climate. Written in an easy-to-reference manner, the Handbook
of Natural Resources, Second Edition, as a complete set, is
essential for anyone looking for a deeper understanding of the
science and management of natural resources. Public and private
libraries, educational and research institutions, scientists,
scholars, and resource managers will benefit enormously from this
set. Individual volumes and chapters can also be used in a wide
variety of both graduate and undergraduate courses in environmental
science and natural science courses at different levels and
disciplines, such as biology, geography, Earth system science,
ecology, etc.
