Megalodon
Writing in a conversational style for the lay
person -- without forsaking science -- the
author embarks on a world-wide hunt for the
largest predatory fish and most fearsome shark
ever to inhabit our global seas. After 62
million years, the fossil record for this
60-foot aqua-motive known as C. megalodon
abruptly ends.
In part, this is a color-illustrated guide
book that pinpoints where to search for Meg
teeth and other shark fossils in Florida and
elsewhere, as well as how to identify the
various species. It is also meant to invite
lively discussions about how such a menacing
predator became extinct, or whether it is still
lurking deep below the ocean’s surface.
Additionally, the book is a rallying cry for
treating today’s sharks (as well as all life
forms) with as much respect as we ourselves
would want to be treated.

Shark Chronicles Reading Musick, a Virginia
Institute of Marine Science professor, and McMillan
(Titanic: Fortune and Fate) is like watching a nature
documentary: you're consumed not so much by storytelling
as by factoids: sharks have taste buds, have been around
for more than 400 million years and can be warm-blooded.
Shark stomachs have turned up "license plates, carcasses
of dogs, birds, and horses, and sides of rotten beef
jettisoned by cruise ships. The navy occasionally finds
evidence of shark bites on its submarines." This
comprehensive look at the much-feared creatures takes
readers from Montana to Mexico to Malaysia, tracing the
fish's development from ancient ur-shark to sea king.
Musick and McMillan discuss fossil excavations and
evolutionary biology, debunk the myth that shark
cartilage is a cancer cure and show how the shark became
a favorite media scapegoat, all while narrating their
own research travels across the globe. These on-the-spot
reports can seem somewhat gratuitous and, along with
cheeky chapter titles like "The Carnivore Cafe" and
"Sex, Sharks, and Videotape," they start to feel like a
panicked and unnecessary attempt to compensate for the
book's hard-science tilt. Nonetheless, Jaws junkies will
eat up the fascinating shark facts sprinkled liberally
through the book, and armchair naturalists will enjoy
both the evolutionary perspective and the authors' look
at the environmental threats facing the shark, a victim
of overfishing and "recreation." It seems that even the
"consummate predator" is no match for human industry. |
