"This is the true story of sharks: the fascinating details of their lives and habits; the full extent of their strange senses; the terrible tales of attacks on people. Complete with an amazing collection of nearly 400 photographs, drawings and diagrams - most in full colour - this book reveals a world of savage beauty." Good sections on natural history mixed in with stories of sharks and shark attacks. Certainly one of the better and more readable shark books available. Good contributions from a variety of shark experts - Alice Alston; Ian Close; Professor John D. McEachran; Robert Pullan; Olaf Ruhen; Ron and Valerie Taylor; Perry W. Gilbert; Peter Goadby; Julian G. Pepperell; Susan Turner; C. Scott Johnson; Noel R. Kemp and Nick Otway. No overall author or editor is given.
