But this book contains more than just a medley of maritime myths and mysteries for marine biologists; it celebrates wonderful discoveries by blending the unknown and the familiar in an entertaining miscellany of facts, figures and anecdotes about the myriad creatures that inhabit the oceans.Along the way we meet the giants, the most dangerous, the oddballs and the record breakers and the shark that really does walk on land!

An adult great white is a big shark really big. It has been responsible for more shark bites and human deaths than any other species, according to the International Shark Attack File. This is probably because it sees us as aberrant marine mammals flailing about in the water and certainly worth an exploratory bite but a gentle mouthing from a two-tonne white shark, its jaws filled with row upon row of razor-sharp teeth, could result in a severe mauling for any victim unlucky enough to have attracted its attention.Though its danger was well known to ancient mariners, it was not until the mid-1970s that it came to occupy its current place in the popular imagination, when Jaws was unleashed on an unsuspecting public. The great white sharks reputation hit rock bottom in the wake of the Spielberg classic. But during the fifty years since the films first release, public interest in the species has sparked a renaissance in research, producing remarkable new insights into the life of this extraordinary animal.Telling the story of the great white shark from the perspectives of history, psychology and biology, White Shark is nothing less than the biography of the worlds most fascinating fish.
