by ThomasB.Allen (Author)
The shark is so well adapted to its element that its existence on the planet actually predates trees. When people enter that element in increasing numbers, as they have in recent years, the results can be tragic.Author Tom Allen has carefully researched shark incidents from all over the world. "Shark Attacks" contains the harrowing personal stories of shark attack survivors, expert opinions from marine biologists, and the latest scientific studies of shark behavior. Allen's fascinating analysis explains why so many attacks occur in water less than five feet deep, which species are killers, what triggers an attack and why it is better to be below a shark than above it.
