Sharks of Hawai'i offers a fascinating look at the species inhabitin waters around the Hawaiian archipelago. By combing modern knowledge of shark biology with details culled from oral tradition, legends, and artifacts, Dr. Taylor provides a scientific account of individual species and sheds light on their role and significance in Hawaiian culture. The author's numerous color photographs offer revealing glimpses of sharks in their natural habitat. Ten paintings by Michael Cole portray scenes based on observation and informed speculation, adding to our understanding of shark behavior. Of particular interest is an exhaustive register of shark attacks in the Hawaiian Islands since 1779, compiled by George Balazs of the National Marine Fisheries Service in Honolulu.
