Those who think of sharks as something only found in tropical waters will be surprised to learn that there are 18 species of sharks in the cool waters of the Pacific Northwest, from the 27-inch brown catshark to the 39-foot basking shark. Sharks of the Pacific Northwest provides for the identification of these species, with spectacular photographs and accurate paintings and drawings, plus summaries of the sharks' classification, morphology, distribution, habitat, diet, reproduction and behaviour. It also includes a concise general account of shark evolution, anatomy and physiology, as well as discussion of attacks on humans and details of shark fisheries. It is primarily aimed at a broad, non-technical readership, but its up-to-date and detailed contents make it a useful tool for professional biologists and zoologists.

It is springtime in the Khutzeymateen Valley of northern British Columbia and the rainforest has again come alive after a long winter's nap. A new addition to the valley is Sparky, a frisky mischievous grizzly bear cub eager to explore the world the bears call Waipo. During Sparky's first summer there is much to learn; not only from his mother, but also from the other creatures of the forest and from nature itself. Sparky: The World's Most Lovable and Mischievous Bear Cub takes the reader on an intriguing journey into the lives of the elusive grizzly bear, as seen through the eyes of a first-year cub. This novel is based upon factual information and stories recorded by the author over a ten year period of studying and photographing the Khutzeymateen Valley grizzly bears. This remarkable harborage is home to hundreds of species of flora and fauna, including approximately sixty grizzly bears. Shymanski has delicately woven her observations into a playful, heartwarming story to delight all ages. Sparky: The World's Most Lovable and Mischievous Bear Cub is a beautiful, magical tale of the mystical Khutzeymateen Valley and the grizzly bears, who, if they could speak, might have told the story themselves.

"A ... first-person account of the discoveries that brought to light the early fossil record of whales. As evidenced in the record, whales evolved from herbivorous forest-dwelling ancestors that resembled tiny deer to carnivorous monsters stalking lakes and rivers and to serpentlike denizens of the coast. Thewissen reports on his discoveries in the wilds of India and Pakistan, weaving a narrative that reveals the day-to-day adventures of fossil collection, enriching it with local flavors from South Asian culture and society"--Dust jacket flap.

Ours is a watery planet, with two-thirds of its surface made up of water. Yet few places on Earth retain their secrets as well as oceans. Beyond the shorelines lies a largely undiscovered world, with its secrets only just beginning to be revealed. The Blue Planet explores this fascinating environment in all its variety, from the apparent 'desert' of the open ocean to the abyssal depths where monstrous creatures lurk in the darkness. The Blue Planet is divided into seven chapters, each focusing on a single habitat, which combine to form a comprehensive guide to the world's oceans. A series of smaller, specialist-interest books associated with The Blue Planet are being published simultaneously which each take an in-depth look at particular marine animals.
