Sobre este áudio

At 83 years old, Valerie Taylor has lived a big, bold, adventurous life.

Born in Australia, Valerie spent a great deal of her childhood in New Zealand. A talented artist, she dropped out of school when she contracted polio and was saved by Sister Elizabeth Kenny's treatment plan; it was two years before she could walk unaided. When Valerie was 15, she found work as an animator and moved back to Australia with her family. All the while she thrived on being close to the ocean, and was a keen spearfisher.

In the 1950s, she met Ron Taylor and then her real adventures started. Together they sailed all over the world, photographing and filming their travels for magazines, TV and movies, and making many documentaries. Valerie and Ron became interested in conservation, and focused on sharks in particular. They did all the shark work on Jaws, and James Cameron decided he wanted to become a filmmaker because of Valerie and her husband.

Valerie is working with the brilliant Ben Mckelvey to share her story of falling in love with the ocean and with her husband, Ron.

Resumo da Crítica

'From working on a Spielberg movie to falling in love with the ocean and husband Ron, this book reveals Valerie's bold and adventurous life, decades-long career as a filmmaker and photographer, and fearlessness of sharks and incomparable understanding of their behaviour.' (National Australian Geographic)
'How she gets all of the energy to do everything each day she wants to accomplish beats me … An interesting and fascinating publication.' (Calodema)
