This "Just Because Super Quick Read" is designed for kids grades 4 - 7 and actually anyone interested in learning about sharks, but simply does not have the time nor desire to read large amounts of material with complicated words and concepts. Complete with "fun" illustrations, key facts are presented in a concise, classroom-type manner. To emphasize important points, interaction occurs between the "Ocean Rescue Squad" shark figure, and "Carrots", a fictional character. In this book you will learn how sharks play an important role in helping to clean and protect our oceans, which in turn leads to cleaner air for us to breathe. They also help to reduce global warming and support the fishing industry, and create income for businesses like restaurants, grocery stores and tourist destinations. You will also learn they are not as harmful to humans as they are made out to be, but rather the other way around, and why people are killing over 100,000,000 sharks each year using irresponsible fishing methods that destroy habitats and countless other species as well. Our oceans are already showing signs of damage as a result of dwindling shark populations. Through education and awareness we can promote responsible fishing practices that will hopefully prevent sharks from becoming extinct, for their sake as well as ours.

Sharks are intriguing and beautiful creatures - but they can also be deadly. As we humans have explored the world's oceans and exploited them for tourism and recreation, we have found ourselves coming into contact with more and more sharks. And the outcome can be fatal. From the Seychelles to South Africa, and Australia to North America, tourists, divers and surfers have seemingly found themselves under increased threat from unprovoked shark attacks. Fatal attacks have occurred in locations that were previously thought to be safe, and in late 2010 the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh was rocked by an incredible five shark attacks in a matter of weeks. But are sharks really ruthless, vicious killers, or are they simply reacting to humans invading their habitat? Has the number of shark attacks increased in recent years? What can be done to prevent shark attacks? All these questions and more are answered in this fascinating book.

A Shark! Named Jamison is true story about the adventure and rescue of a juvenile great white shark on the coast of Cape Cod during the summer of 2015. A surprise landing for Jamison caused a surprise for the beach goers and unexpected rescue opportunity. Many of the researchers from the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy believe that the great white shark that washed up on a Chatham beach during the summer of 2015, and was tagged and named "Jamison," may have pulled through after his unexpected ordeal. The story, the rescue and the amazing community teamwork to ensure that Jamison's adventure ended with the shark's survival is still being admired around the world. In their new book, A Shark! Named Jamison, Consie and Nina Berghausen take on the challenge of creating a version of Jamison's true story and adventure written as a reader for ages 5-12 (K-6) and a great picture book for preschoolers. Their year-long effort to perfect both the text and illustrations of a colorful, fully illustrated book seems to have paid off. As the author, Consie gives the young readers an opportunity to go inside the mind of "Jamison" and imagine how a juvenile white shark could find himself in such a position. In the thirty-eight page book, she challenges the young reader to imagine what Jamison must have been thinking as he was the center of attention in the waters and on a beach in beautiful Cape Cod. Her distinctive sense of rhyme and her gentle treatment of a harrowing ordeal skillfully allow young readers to enjoy the suspense of a good story "gone badly" and then "good again." Nina's ascending brilliance as an illustrator and artist is displayed on every page of the book. The way she is able to seamlessly choreograph her mother's sense of rhyme within the true, natural colors and unbelievable beauty of the waters and beaches of Cape Cod is quite captivating. At the front of the book, parents will find a "Parents Corner" page with some tantalizing facts about sharks to share with the youngest readers and prepare them for Jamison's amazing adventure. By all accounts, the mother and daughter team also display amazing teamwork in their new book and has exceeded all expectations. This is the fourth Book written and illustrated by the team of Consie and Nina Berghausen. Consie splits her time between Tucson, Arizona and Chatham, Massachusetts. Her home in Chatham is on a saltwater marsh. It is her many years of watching wildlife out her back window that inspired her debut novel, The Saltwater Marsh, a Magical Place. She and Riverhaven books most recently teamed up to publish her next story set in Chatham, The Cormorant and the Clam. A teacher and former therapist, Consie now enjoys writing about nature and wildlife. She plays the piano and a mean game of tennis. Nina is a graphic design artist in California. She enjoys working at the public library, playing tennis, and horseback riding. She also has a heart for animals.

A detailed account of over one hundred shark-related incidents on the coast of the Carolinas from a shark-bite investigator Powerful and mysterious, sharks inspire both fascination and fear. Worldwide, oceans are home to some five-hundred species, and of those, fifty-six are known to reside in or pass through the waters off the coast of both North and South Carolina. At any given time, waders, swimmers, and surfers enjoying these waters are frequently within just one-hundred feet of a shark. While it's unnerving to know that sharks often swim just below the surface in the shallows, W. Clay Creswell, a shark-bite investigator for the Shark Research Institute's Global Shark Attack File, explains that attacks on humans are extremely rare. In 2019 the International Shark Attack File confirmed sixty-four unprovoked attacks on humans, including three in North Carolina and one in South Carolina. While acknowledging that they pose real dangers to humans, Creswell believes the fear of sharks is greatly exaggerated. During his sixteen-year association with the Shark Research Institute, he has investigated more than one hundred shark-related incidents and has maintained a database of all shark–human encounters along the Carolina coastlines back to 1817. Creswell uses this data to expose the truth and history of this often-sensationalized topic. Beyond the statistics related to attacks in the Carolina waters, Sharks in the Shallows offers a history of shark–human interactions and an introduction to the world of shark attacks. Creswell details the conditions that increase a person's chances of an encounter, profiles the three species most often involved in attacks, and reveals the months and time of day with the highest probability of an encounter. With a better understanding of sharks' responses to their environment, and what motivates them to attack humans, he hopes people will develop a greater appreciation of the invaluable role sharks play in our marine environment.
