Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"[An] enthralling book. . . . Lavishly illustrated with big color photos and drawings, the book covers shark biology, behavior and ecology in prose that's authoritative but highly accessible to anyone bitten by shark fever."---Ron Charles, Washington Post
"[A] landmark, myth-busting book."---Marc Bekoff, Psychology Today
"Truly excellent."---David Gascoigne, Travels with Birds
"[A] wonderful new book packed with facts and information about these magnificent animals. . . . Whether you are studying marine biology, or just love these perfect predators, this book will be one that you pluck from your collection time and time again."---Nick and Caroline Robertson-Brown, Scubaverse
"A thoughtful, easy read, suitable either for dipping into or working through, and would look good on any shark diver’s shelves."---Steve Weinman, Divernet
"Many people experience irrepressible fear while swimming in the presence of sharks but exhibit deep interest in sharks when safely ashore. This text will satisfy the latter urge and may even mitigate some of the former concern."---S.R. Fegley, Choice
