| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. When the first toe enters the water at the beach, everyone has that momentary flash of an ominous dorsal fin on the horizon or a frightened scream of a swimmer being pulled underwater. Naturally, these fleeting fears are generally dispelled for the sake of summer fun and deep sea adventures, but in reality, tragic occasions do occur when they become all too real. This book dives into this terrifying world of shark attacks and explains how, why, when, and where these creatures become deadly. Furthermore, the myths, legends, and lies that have glorified sharks as blood-thirsty predators are also examined. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
