Customer Reviews

A great author for a great book

This book is fascinating. What most do not know is that Mose Richards wrote this entire book, while Cousteau supplied the inspiration and pictures. This book has excellent writing and fabulous photography. An excellent read. Props to the author, Mose Richards!

Jaws!

A very informative book about the great white. The photos are amazing. This Shark is one of the most interesting animals alive. A real predator.

A must read book! Two thumbs up!

I am a great fan of the Cousteus and I also love sharks. This book encompasses all aspects of the Great White shark, as well as what it's like being a scientist studying them. I loved this book. This book gives a new perspective to the life of the Great White and really helps remove the bad name of the White Shark. If you love sharks, you will probably like this book a good bit!

Incredible photographs.

I was lucky enough to see Jean-Michel preview the documentary in San Francisco in 1993. The book is an excellent documentation of their dives and research of the Great White Shark. The book has wonderful, and frightning, photos of the Great Whites encountered on their journies to Australia. This book does not represent all of the research done during the project, and that is its only draw back. I would highly recommend this book for all White Shark enthusiasts and those wanting to learn more about this beautiful creature.

I believe that you people have written a fabulous book.

This book has helped me learn many things I have always wanted to learn about the great white. It also helped me get an A on a great white project.
