Incredible photographs. Jul 10, 1998
I was lucky enough to see Jean-Michel preview the documentary in San Francisco in 1993. The book is an excellent documentation of their dives and research of the Great White Shark. The book has wonderful, and frightning, photos of the Great Whites encountered on their journies to Australia. This book does not represent all of the research done during the project, and that is its only draw back. I would highly recommend this book for all White Shark enthusiasts and those wanting to learn more about this beautiful creature.

A must read book! Two thumbs up! Feb 22, 1999
I am a great fan of the Cousteus and I also love sharks. This book encompasses all aspects of the Great White shark, as well as what it's like being a scientist studying them. I loved this book. This book gives a new perspective to the life of the Great White and really helps remove the bad name of the White Shark. If you love sharks, you will probably like this book a good bit!

THE LONELY LORD OF THE SEA Aug 20, 2007
By R. Hansen
Wow! This book by Jean-Michel Cousteau & Mose Richards is amazing! The 120 full color photographs in here are some of the best i have ever seen. Truly breathtaking pictures of this awesome predator. This book chronicles the Cousteau team's extensive two-and-a-half years study of the great white shark at Dangerous Reef, Australia. After attracting the sharks, the research team would observe the sharks behavior underwater in specially built stainless steel cages and one made of Luxon(a clear, bulletproof plastic). They would then tag them and attach transmitters to follow their movements and patterns. A new understanding emerges of the great white and it's lonely, lifelong hunt for food.

Inspirational Cousteau Jul 12, 2006
Cousteau has truly captured my mind and allowed it to wander through the amazing pages of his book, COUSTEAU'S GREAT WHITE SHARK. I started adoring sharks at age 3, and have always dreamed of becoming a marine biologist. Cousteau has wonderfully made it possible for me to go after my dream without any worries. His book is truly inspirational and gracious. Thank you Jean-Michel!
