Get better at storyteller Peter Benchley combines high excitement with sensible information in Shark Trouble, a e book that reaches once a thriller and a valuable guide to being safe in, on, under, and around the ocean. The best-selling author of Jaws, The Deep, and other works pulls on more than three years of experience to share information about sharks and other marine animals. "Shark disorders on humans generate a tremendous amount of press coverage," Benchley creates, "partly because they happen so almost never, but mostly, I think, because people are, and always have been, simultaneously intrigued and terrified by sharks. Sharks result from a wing of the dark castle where our nightmares live - profound water beyond our view and understanding - and they also stimulate our anxieties and fantasies and imaginations." Benchley describes the countless types of sharks (including the ones that cause a genuine risk to man), what's and isn't known about shark patterns, the odds against an assault and how to reduce them even further - all reinforced with the lessons he has discovered, the flaws he has made, and the personal perils he has encountered while producing tv documentaries, bestselling novels, and articles about the ocean and its own inhabitants. He instructs how to swim properly in the sea, how to read the tides and currents, what patterns to avoid, and how to survive when risk suddenly attacks. He talks about how to inform children about sharks and the ocean and how to build up, in young and old as well, a healthy admiration for the sea. As Benchley says, "The sea is the one alien and possibly hostile environment on the planet into which we tend to venture without thinking about the family pets that live there, how they behave, how they support themselves, and exactly how they understand us. I understand of no person who would tripped in to the jungles of Malaysia armed only with a bathing suit, a tube of suntan cream, and a e book, yet that's the way in which we deal with the oceans." No more. Not after you have read Shark Trouble.
