Shark! Great White Sharks of the Carolinas & Georgia John Hairr

For centuries they have been nature's perfect killing machines, trolling the seas for their prey in a never ending and terrifying ballet. When men have encountered them, they have provided the stuff of nightmares. In popular fiction, they are portrayed as being without pity, utterly efficient killers that can even sink boats and shatter cages designed to protect humans sharing the waters with them. But the reality, while having more than a little in common with how great white sharks are portrayed in fiction, is something quite different. Great white sharks are terrifying, yet majestic kings of their domain. In this book, author John Hairr tells the stories of those who have matched wits with these great beasts of the deep off the coasts of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.
