 Shark
Attacks - Their Causes and Avoidance
Thomas B
Allen(293 pages) Lyons Press
Price
$24.95 HB
An unflinching look at the
terrifying phenomenon of shark attacks.
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 and seemingly arbitrary.
Author Tom Allen has
carefully researched documented shark attacks from all over the world. The
result is the most thorough and informative book to date on the
phenomenon. Shark Attacks contains the harrowing personal stories of shark
attack survivors, expert opinions from marine biologists, and the latest
scientific information on 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
-Behavior just before an
attack
-Whether shark nets help
swimmer safety
-Why more than two-thirds
of victims are surfers
-Environmental and seasonal
conditions that contribute to attacks
-How to avoid becoming
shark's prey
