Story4 out of 5 stars 20
A group of traders huddles around a pile of dried shark fins on a gleaming white floor in Hong Kong. A Papua New Guinean elder shoves off in his hand-carved canoe, ready to summon a shark with ancient magic. A scientist finds a rare shark in Indonesia and forges a deal with villagers so it and other species can survive. In this eye-opening adventure that spans the globe, Juliet Eilperin investigates the fascinating ways different individuals and cultures relate to the ocean’s top predator. Along the way, she reminds us why, after millions of years, sharks remain among nature’s most awe-inspiring creatures.

Do not be fooled by the title of this book
Reviewed: 05-11-19
The title of this book makes you think of the usual shark story --bites and blood --high adventure and narrow escapes of the demon of the sea-----that is not what it is --it is a delightful and and entertaining book --a very clever way of describing and telling you about this mis-understood sea animal --a book that left me with a smile on my face--and good feelings about this the time spent with this writer and performer--a good read you will enjoy-!~
