From the Author

Shark Attacks in Australian Waters. No Australian steps into the water without thinking of a shark attack and yet less that one fatal attack occurs each year. These endangered species still inspire fear as the memory of news stories, foaming bloody waters and shocked relatives persist. We have only just begun to understand the dreaded shark and its vital place in the ecology of the ocean. Alan Sharpe documents shark behaviour, records the situations that lead to some of Australia's most sudden and terrifying attacks. A good read, and more up to date than Coppleson. Includes Fox and Bource - and the incredible Shark Arm Murder Case. Paperback, 164 pages, mono photos.
