THE SHARK CHRONICLES : A SCIENTIST TRACKS THE CONSUMMATE PREDATOR
Musick, John A.; McMillan, Beverly
02871534 Hard Cover. Brand New/Brand New Book Jacket. Few animals elicit the same mythical terror as sharks, and yet most people know little about these elusive, ancient creatures. Shark researcher John A. Musick and science writer Beverly McMillan bring us along on a thrilling adventure as they track sharks from fossil quarries in Bear Gulch, Montana, to a nurse shark mating lagoon in the Dry Tortugas. By way of Alaska, Japan, the Bimini islands, and the world’s leading shark-research labs, we discover how sharks navigate using electromagnetic signals, have a bloodhound’s sense of smell, are both cold- and warm-blooded, and possess biochemical weapons that someday might help us fend off tumors and microbes. "By the time you finish this wonderful book, you’ll remember the exciting journey, but you probably won’t realize how much you’ve learned. It reads like an adventure story, and it is." Richard Ellis. 242 exciting pages, PUBLISHED AT twenty six dollars. New York, NY, U.S.A.: Henry Holt & Company, 2002
