Ellis, McCosker, and Giddings have produced an informative and entertaining book on the Great White shark. While the book does provide scientific information it does not require that you hold a degree in marine biology or physiology to comprehend the information being presented. Adding to the text are an abundance of quality photographs. I read this book several years ago, but still open it up again and again to re-read passages and look at the photographs. One of the best shark books I have ever read.

The Great White Shark is by far the best investment I have made to date. I picked up the book while working on a Co-op work term from school and could not put the book down. Every aspect of the oceans most respected predator is covered with many dynamic pictures and illustrations (done by Ellis). From learning about it's biology to investigating why we can't keep white pointers in captivity, this book is a must for anyone interested in reading about the king of the sea.

Richard Ellis and Dr. John E. McCosker bring their years of experience and knowledge about the Great White Shark to the public in this exhaustive study of the world's most fearsome predator. With their words and hundreds of stunning photographs (by Al Giddings and others), they reveal an animal that is not the monster of popular fiction but instead, an efficient and awesome product of evolution. This book is a must for any student or fan of the Great White
