Product Description
Synopsis
Lavishly illustrated, this book is the first complete, definitive account for general readers of everything that is known about the great white shark, the most feared creature in the world's oceans. It is based on extensive research into the scientific literature and lore of this superbly adapted predator, on analysis of historical records, and on the most up-to-date information. The cloth edition of the book received highly enthusiastic reviews in popular media as well as in scientific journals. It was described as 'entertaining and comprehensive', 'magnificently illustrated [and] definitive', and a 'balanced account of the biology and popular myth ...intriguing and informative to the educated layman, yet satisfying and useful to scientists.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything I ever wanted to know...and much much more!, 27 Jun 1998
By A Customer
The Great White Shark is by far the best investment I have made to date. I picked up the book while working on a Co-op work term from school and could not put the book down. Every aspect of the oceans most respected predator is covered with many dynamic pictures and illustrations (done by Ellis). From learning about it's biology to investigating why we can't keep white pointers in captivity, this book is a must for anyone interested in reading about the king of the sea.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb insight into the Great White Shark!, 25 Oct 2006
By David Bargh (Manchester , England) - See all my reviews
This book was about the 7th book i had bought on sharks and is by far the best book i own on the subject. Ellis and McCosker are possibly 2 of the worlds most educated people on the white shark and their knowledge shows in this book, they cover just about everything you need to know about the white shark from its prehistoric ancestoral history through to the current understanding of how the shark needs to be protected. In between this you will also find chapters on the sharks biological detail and reproduction, the Great White in captivity, how it was almost hunted to extinction, stories of attacks by the white shark and also the "JAWS" phenomenon of the 70's. All in all the is the most in depth book ever written on the Great White Shark and although there are cheaper books out there non are quite as compelling as this book an absolute must for all interested in sharks!!
