White Pointer South – A Compendium of White Shark Encounters, Captures and Attacks in Tasmanian Waters | Chris Black | 2010 [HC]

A detailed record of white shark interactions in Tasmanian waters from the establishment of the British colony in Van Diemen's Land through to the early 21st century — covering captures, sightings, encounters and attacks documented over nearly two centuries.

Written by Chris Black and published in 2010, the book draws on historical records, newspaper accounts and scientific data to compile what is likely the most thorough account of white shark activity around Tasmania ever assembled.

At 284 pages with colour illustrations throughout and a full index, it covers both the historical record and the biology and behaviour of white sharks in southern Australian waters.

Of interest to marine biologists, divers, fishermen, shark researchers and anyone with a serious interest in Tasmania's marine environment and history. White shark encounters off Tasmania are regularly in the news, and this book provides the historical context that media coverage rarely does.
