Great Shark Stories - Valerie and Ron Taylor ****

A collection of shark tales spanning the career of Valerie and Ron Taylor. To be honest I only picked the book up because of the introduction by Peter Benchley but was pleasantly surprised by the content of the rest of the book.

We are treated to an inside view on the place that sharks have in the world, by a couple who have spent their lives studying and filming them for both the small and big screen.

For anyone with an interest in sharks I would easily recommend it, but as the title suggests it is a book of 'tales' entwined with personal experience, not a scientific analysis. ( )
