Download or read book Great Whites of False Bay South Africa written by Dirk Otto Schmidt and published by New Voices Pub. This book was released on 2008 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great White shark is undoubtedly one of the most well-known and most awesome apex or macro-predator of the seas. It is the largest predating fish on earth and has earned a much maligned reputation as an indiscriminate man-eater. Despite the enormous popular and scientific interest in the Great White, it remains one of the least understood of the seas creatures. Its awesome combination of size, menace and mystery, make the Great White Shark a modern day monster that many people find irresistible. Dirk Schmidt captures some awesome images of Great White Sharks in False bay and illustrates the sharks explosive presence during predatory events, and over 120 colour images are displayed in this book with additional contributions from Michel Zoghzoghi and Lee Nuttal. The images of Great Whites allow us to share a rare insight into Great White Shark behaviours in around the Seal Island area, and witnesses an aspect of the natural cycle of life at sea.

Download or read book The Impossible First written by Colin O'Brady and published by Scribner. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colin O’Brady’s awe-inspiring, New York Times bestselling memoir recounting his recovery from a tragic accident and his record-setting 932-mile solo crossing of Antarctica is a “jaw-dropping tale of passion and perseverance” (Angela Duckworth, New York Times bestselling author of Grit). Prior to December 2018, no individual had ever crossed the landmass of Antarctica alone, without support and completely human powered. Yet, Colin O’Brady was determined to do just that, even if, ten years earlier, there was doubt that he’d ever walk again normally. From the depths of a tragic accident, he fought his way back. In a quest to unlock his potential and discover what was possible, he went on to set three mountaineering world records before turning to this historic Antarctic challenge. O’Brady’s pursuit of a goal that had eluded many others was made even more intense by a head-to-head battle that emerged with British polar explorer Captain Louis Rudd—also striving to be “the first.” Enduring Antarctica’s sub-zero temperatures and pulling a sled that initially weighed 375 pounds—in complete isolation and through a succession of whiteouts, storms, and a series of near disasters—O’Brady persevered. Alone with his thoughts for nearly two months in the vastness of the frozen continent—gripped by fear and doubt—he reflected on his past, seeking courage and inspiration in the relationships and experiences that had shaped his life. “Incredibly engaging and well-written” (The Wall Street Journal)—and set against the backdrop of some of the most extreme environments on earth, from Mt. Everest to Antarctica—this is “an unforgettable memoir of perseverance, survival, daring to dream big, and showing the world how to make the impossible possible” (Booklist, starred review).

Download or read book Orca written by Richard Peirce and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2019-09-01 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great White sharks, attracted by an offshore seal colony, have brought success to the adjacent fishing village of Gansbaai along the southern African coast. A flourishing shark cage diving industry has sprung up, bringing jobs and money, and so benefiting almost the entire community. Tourists come from far and near to experience the thrill of a real-life brush with the legendary ‘Jaws’. Shark Town, as it has become known, is booming. Then one day, the sharks disappear. Slowly at first, but with gathering momentum, the word spreads: cage diving off Gansbaai can no longer promise the thrill of an encounter. The crowds thin, the boats remain at their moorings, and the once bustling community waits as their livelihoods tail off. Entrepreneurs and scientists alike are baffled. But it’s not long before shark carcasses start washing up on the beaches. These, together with some coincidental sightings of another apex predator in the vicinity, are the first leads to the possible causes and culprits. Against the clamour and thrill of the cage-diving season in full swing, Richard Peirce visits the unfolding drama and explores what’s behind these strange events. Sales points: Topical subject, widely reported in the press; jaws-style account, but based on true events; vividly told, with colour photographs throughout; dramatically portrays the epic contest between apex predators; shark cage diving attracts visitors from around the world
Download or read book Herbert Ponting written by Anne Strathie and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2021-03-26 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herbert Ponting (1870-1935) was young bank clerk when he bought an early Kodak compact camera. By the early 1900s, he was living in California, working as a professional photographer, known for stereoview and enlarged images of America, Japan and the Russo-Japanese war. In 1909, back in Britain, Ponting was recruited by Captain Robert Scott as photographer and filmmaker for his second Antarctic expedition. In 1913, following the deaths of Scott and his South Pole party companions, Ponting's images of Antarctica were widely published, and he gave innovative 'cinema-lectures' on the expedition. When war broke out, Ponting's offers to serve as a photographer or correspondent were declined, but in 1918 he, Ernest Shackleton and other Antarctic veterans joined a government-backed Arctic expedition. During the economically depressed 1920s and 1930s, Ponting wrote his Antarctic memoir, re-worked his Antarctic films into silent and 'talkie' versions and worked on inventions. Like others, he struggled financially but was sustained by correspondence with photographic equipment magnate George Eastman, a late-life romance with singer Glae Carrodus and knowing that his images of Antarctica had secured his place in photographic and filmmaking history.
