From the introduction:
I have been crazy about sharks since childhood. From the shark stories I read as a boy to my first brush with a great white as a teenager, sharks have always been a huge part of my life. Over the years as I observed, tagged, and studied sharks around the world my fear turned into respect as I began to understand and admire these animals. As we delve deep into the watery world of sharks over the following pages, I hope that you will learn how better to understand this magnificent-and often misunderstood-creature, too.
