FISHES Diving

Hugh Edwards, author of ISLANDS OF ANGRY GHOSTS, has been involved with sharks for more than 40 years, as diver, journalist, author, photographer, and film-maker. This is an account of his own and others’ experiences with the ocean’s most feared and maligned creature–the Great White. Tales of terrifying shark attacks are mixed with a wealth of informative detail about the sharks as a species, its incredible strength and grace, its social and breeding patterns, its feeding habits, and its renowned unpredictability. Hugh Edwards has spent more than 40 years working around sharks. He writes of the fascination with and changing attitudes towards this much maligned creature. It is illustrated with photographs from a vast personal collection of images, offering information and insights into the shark. vii, 359 p. : col. ill. ; 21 cm. reprint #1019R/0620D/0221/220222/050923
