Jaws was just the tip of the iceberg! Actually marine biologist and toxicologist Halstead wants to help swimmers and boaters learn to be careful so they do not have to be afraid. He describes animals of the sea, and a few of fresh-water, that can harm humans either by intention or by being poison to eat; he includes distribution, behavior, drawings, color photographs of the creatures in their natural habitat, and graphic pictures of what they do to us. First published in 1959 and updated from the 1980 edition based on continuing research throughout the world. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
