Book Summary

The shark, cautious and seemingly tranquil, will suddenly appear and slowly circle its prey repeatedly.  But hidden in this graceful ballet is its essential function:  to murder!  Protected by their enormous power and innate prudence, the shark is the deadliest animal to roam the sea.

Armed only with their cameras, Jacques-Yves Cousteau, Philippe Cousteau and the crew of the Calypso confronted the shark.  In The Shark: Splendid Savage of the Sea they tell you about their deadly adventures in a text that mirrors the moment-to-moment danger and excitement the Calypso crew encountered on their expedition.  Full-color photographs enable you to experience the terror and unspeakable beauty of this savage creature yourself.
