Seaside Series: Ret Talbot

. 

Ret Talbot will present from his book Chasing Shadows, a collaborative project with shark biologist Greg Skomal that covers the return of the white shark to the western North Atlantic.

About Chasing Shadows

A collaboration between a scientist and a science writer, Chasing Shadows is the remarkable story of the resurgence of the white shark population in the western North Atlantic told largely through the eyes of the shark biologist who found himself in the middle of it. At its heart, it is a too rare conservation success story about restoring an apex predator to an ecosystem. Illustrations and maps by scientific illustrator Karen Talbot.
