Shark! The word alone induces terror, but what is it like to stare into the jaws of a shark?
Sharks Never Sleep is Brendan McAloon’s gripping investigation into our complex relationship of fear and fascination with sharks. In an attempt to combat fear with facts, he takes us on a journey around the world in search of true stories of extraordinary first-hand encounters with these oceanic predators. Follow Brendan from the Australian eastern seaboard to the United States, South Africa and the island of Réunion as he meets scientists, conservationists, shark-attack survivors, shark lovers and shark hunters in these captivating tales. Sharks Never Sleep explores our innate fear of being eaten alive, the unimaginable grief of losing a loved one, and reflects on responses to shark attacks – from culling, to monitoring, to calls for establishing a way for humans and sharks to share the waves.
