This was a gift from my parents for my high school graduation... I was on the cusp of starting college as a marine biology major and this book was my good luck charm. A totally different take on the great white shark, filled with vivd photos and emotional stories... a must-read for any shark-lover.

Fantastic account of a series of great white shark research expeditions. An easy read with great pictures and wonderful authorial voice. Although thirty years old from publication, the information gleaned from the research still holds well and the experiences of the team are still fun to read.

Literally my favorite book as a child. Beautiful photographs, amazing stories, will make you love these animals and marvel at how humans interact with wild things.

Changed my life when I was a kid. Even if you're not into sharks, this will at least make you respect them. LCL
