From the beaches of Africa to the ports of the Middle East, a shark fin odyssey arrives
back at Ground Zero... Hong Kong.
'Man & Shark' is book which explores the barbaric practice of shark-finning in developing nations, so that consumers in Hong Kong and China can eat shark fin soup at their weddings, company banquets and celebrations.
The book aims to show why sharks, as the ocean's apex predators, are necessary to keep the marine ecosystem in balance.
'Man & Shark' also bears witness to the ignorance of shopkeepers selling shark fin in Hong Kong. It also explores why Chinese people eat shark fin soup in the first place, and the dangers to human health from mercury poisoning.
'Man & Shark' was conceived in Mozambique, Yemen, and Hong Kong, and includes many underwater images of sharks from all over the world.

I bought several books as presents for the delegation of Palau at the UN.
This book is very well done with excellent photos. It is a must for everybody who is interested in the oceans and especially the sharks. I would buy it again at any time. It makes a wonderful present.
