Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water... When
you dive into the sea, do you ever wonder what's down there,
beneath you, poised to take an inquisitive bite? Author of Jaws
Peter Benchley and film director Steven Spielberg certainly did,
for below the waves lies a world we neither see nor understand; an
alien world where we are but the briefest of visitors. The Shark
that Walks on Land uncovers tales of ancient and modern mariners,
with stories of sea serpents, mermaids and mermen, sea dragons, and
the true identity of the legendary kraken. But this book contains
more than just a medley of maritime myths and mysteries for marine
biologists; it celebrates wonderful discoveries by blending the
unknown and the familiar in an entertaining miscellany of facts,
figures and anecdotes about the myriad creatures that inhabit the
oceans. Along the way we meet the giants, the most dangerous, the
oddballs and the record breakers - and the shark that really does
walk on land!
