Tigers of the Sea: Shark Fishing Around the World

Long before shark attacks made headlines from New Jersey to Florida, Tigers of the Sea explored the depths of the oceans in search of all types of sharks, many species of which had yet to be discovered. This classic of the sea from 1936 not only describes the biology and habitat of the various new species, but also provides information on tackle, bait, and methods of fishing for sharks. Given the reputation of the author's subject, each chapter is filled with thrilling discoveries and breathtaking moments-and narrow escapes.
