The latest book we just read in my book club is called The Devils Teeth: A True Story of Obsession and Survival Among America's Great White Sharks by Susan Casey.
This is the fascinating true story of pioneering shark research done in the shark's own habitat near the Farallon Islands just off the coast from San Francisco. The Farallones are so inhospitable (unless youre a shark or a bird) that it is a miracle the 2 biologists in this book could spend so much of their lives living out there. Susan Casey joins them, and we read first hand of her harrowing adventures. I learned more about sharks than I ever knew, and also learned about the fascinating history of these islands.
This book is truly amazing- definately one worth checking out!
