It's always nice to do a deep dive into clinical metaphors.

The chapters on anthropometrics and scientific racism was long and full of deeply unsettling quotes (that modern politicians love to echo). An unpleasant but an important section.

A bold opening chapter that will certainly rile done readers, but which I think is correct - the work of the early cultural anthropologists is foundational to much of modern progressive thought, and an essential element in confronting the efforts of many to wrap discrimination in science and give it false legitimacy.

Done! I enjoyed the final chapter on programs for shark conservation immensely, and look forward to seeing the documentary made for the book.

I appreciate the author's awe, but I also still don't want to dive with a 20 foot great white.

I did not expect this to contain an extended section on modern maritime slavery in the tuna industry, but I'm glad it did.

Excellent analysis on the insignificant threat sharks generally pose to humans, and the ineffectiveness of culling programs.

The notion of sharks as being social doesn't feel like a revelation so much as an acknowledgement of long observed behavior. Their ability to use social learning, on the other hand, is impressive.

Done! I love how the authorv beyond things together in the last few chapters to highlight what was brewing all along. I still wish we got more Augie, and wish we saw more of Dean's successes. Kaui's ending was brilliant, and Malia's feels bittersweet. All in all, this was fantastic.
