From the introduction:

I have been crazy about sharks since childhood. From the
shark stories I read as a boy to my first brush with a great white as a
teenager, sharks have always been a huge part of my life. Over the years as I
observed, tagged, and studied sharks around the world my fear turned into
respect as I began to understand and admire these animals. As we delve deep into
the watery world of sharks over the following pages, I hope that you will learn
how better to understand this magnificent--and often misunderstood--creature,
too.
