Great white sharks - A. Peter Klimley

Now available in paperback, the first comprehensive reference on Great White sharks separates fact from fiction and presents real evidence of the ecology and behavior of these remarkable animals. The volume begins with the evolution of the white shark and its relatives and continues with sections on its anatomy, behavior, ecology, distribution, population dynamics, and interactions with humans. Included in the volume are many illustrations, maps, diagrams, graphs and photos.

"The authors have accomplished the difficult task of writing a serious scientific work representing our current state of knowledge regarding this great beast and making it interesting, informative, and understandable to the lay public. It would be a welcome addition to any ocean enthusiast's library."
