This engaging book introduces readers to the fascinating yet often misunderstood world of sharks. It covers their evolution, hunting abilities, and showcases both beautiful and dangerous species, complemented by stunning images. Written by passionate diver and former BBC correspondent John McIntyre, it also highlights tragic human encounters.
With their sharp teeth and keen sense of prey, sharks outlived dinosaurs and have survived 400 million years. BBC journalist and veteran diver John McIntyre has been swimming close to these sleek, swift predators for much of his adult life. His Sharks: Savage Predators of the Oceans is both a tribute to these mythic creatures and a cogent examination of our often-bumbling encounters with them.
With its clear, warm waters and colourful marine life, the Red Sea is by far the number one destination for European divers. Offering fresh new insights into the classic Egyptian dives, this book also explores new spots that have only recently been discovered.
Dieses anschauliche Buch führt den Leser in die Welt dieser faszinierenden, jedoch häufig missverstandenen Tiere.

Haie wurde vom erfahrenen, an diesen Tieren leidenschaftlich interessierten Taucher und ehemaligen BBC-Korrespondenten John McIntyre verfasst.
