A general view and field guide to the identification of shark species.
"This welcome book fills a real need in the literature of sharks: a comprehensive, factual treatment of the great variety of sharks in the Tropical Pacific written by a scientist who has learned to know sharks in their natural habitat as well as in the laboratory. This rare combination has resulted in an objective book about sharks that both scientist and laymen will find useful." - Dr Leighton R Taylor, Director, Waikiki Aquarium, University of Hawaii
"This well written and easily read volume provides a concise, up-to-date account of the biology and behaviour of sharks. Johnson has a firsthand acquaintance with the sharks of the Pacific and this he incorporates with the life histories of the more common species a scientist or non-scientist is likely to encounter. In addition, the shark hazard is placed in perspective and countermeasures are reviewed and authoritatively evaluated." - Dr Perry W Gilbert, Director, Mote Marine Laboratory
