This well-loved copy of “Sharks and Troubled Waters” by Margaret Harris offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of shark biology and conservation efforts in the late 20th century. Published in 1977, just a few years after the release of the iconic film “Jaws,” this book provided a much-needed scientific perspective on these often misunderstood apex predators. Harris, a renowned marine biologist, drew upon her extensive research to dispel myths and shed light on the vital role sharks play in maintaining healthy ocean ecosystems. Despite its weathered exterior, this volume remains a captivating read for anyone interested in the natural history of these remarkable creatures and the early efforts to protect them from overfishing and habitat destruction. Collectors will appreciate the historical significance of this work, which helped pave the way for a greater public understanding of shark conservation.
