Michael Capuzzo tells the harrowing story of the real-life Jaws that helped inspire Peter Benchley's classic novel (and movie). Modern science now tells us that shark attacks are exceedingly rare and limited to just a few species. Yet they do occur, and one of the most terrifying episodes of fatal attacks occurred near the New Jersey shore in 1916, when a renegade great white shark went on a man-eating spree that left three adults and one boy dead. Capuzzo likens the shark's abnormal behavior to that of a person "who goes off the deep end and starts shooting." Whatever its motives, the shark captivated the public's imagination along the Eastern seaboard, devastated the resort economy, and even drew the attention of President Woodrow Wilson.
Close to Shore is a bit slow to get going and could have been a much shorter book. There is a fair amount of stage setting, and the first shark attack doesn't occur until about one-third of the way through the narrative. But Capuzzo does much with limited source material and includes lots of interesting asides on everything from the lore of sea monsters to the bathing-suit fashions of the day to nearly everything science knows about great whites, which, it turns out, is surprisingly little.
Alternating from the victims' perspectives to the shark's, Capuzzo's descriptions of the attacks are a blend of horrors and thrills: "Charles Bruder felt a slight vacuum tug in the motion of the sea, noted it as a passing current, the pull of a wave, the tickle of undertow. He could not have heard the faint, sucking rush of water not far beneath him. He couldn't have seen or heard what was hurtling from the murk at astonishing speed, jaws unhinging, widening, for the enormous first bite. It was the classic attack that no other creature in nature could make--a bomb from the depths." If this book were on any other subject, it would make for good beach reading. --John J. Miller
Book Description
Combining rich historical detail and a harrowing, pulse-pounding narrative,
Close to Shore brilliantly re-creates the summer of 1916, when a rogue Great White shark attacked swimmers along the New Jersey shore, triggering mass hysteria and launching the most extensive shark hunt in history.
During the summer before the United States entered World War I, when ocean swimming was just becoming popular and luxurious Jersey Shore resorts were thriving as a chic playland for an opulent yet still innocent era's new leisure class, Americans were abruptly introduced to the terror of sharks. In July 1916 a lone Great White left its usual deep-ocean habitat and headed in the direction of the New Jersey shoreline. There, near the towns of Beach Haven and Spring Lake-and, incredibly, a farming community eleven miles inland-the most ferocious and unpredictable of predators began a deadly rampage: the first shark attacks on swimmers in U.S. history.
For Americans celebrating an astoundingly prosperous epoch much like our own, fueled by the wizardry of revolutionary inventions, the arrival of this violent predator symbolized the limits of mankind's power against nature.
Interweaving a vivid portrait of the era and meticulously drawn characters with chilling accounts of the shark's five attacks and the frenzied hunt that ensued, Michael Capuzzo has created a nonfiction historical thriller with the texture of
Ragtime and the tension of
Jaws. From the unnerving inevitability of the first attack on the esteemed son of a prosperous Philadelphia physician to the spine-tingling moment when a farm boy swimming in Matawan Creek feels the sandpaper-like skin of the passing shark,
Close to Shore is an undeniably gripping saga.
Heightening the drama are stories of the resulting panic in the citizenry, press and politicians, and of colorful personalities such as Herman Oelrichs, a flamboyant millionaire who made a bet that a shark was no match for a man (and set out to prove it); Museum of Natural History ichthyologist John Treadwell Nichols, faced with the challenge of stopping a mythic sea creature about which little was known; and, most memorable, the rogue Great White itself moving through a world that couldn't conceive of either its destructive power or its moral right to destroy.
Scrupulously researched and superbly written,
Close to Shore brings to life a breathtaking, pivotal moment in American history. Masterfully written and suffused with fascinating period detail and insights into the science and behavior of sharks,
Close to Shore recounts a breathtaking, pivotal moment in American history with startling immediacy.

Terrorized on the Beach.......2007-09-03
For a sea shore vacation in 2007 I brought a few books to read "on the beach". This one turned out to be a fascinating and well presented historical narrative of the 1916 white shark attacks along the New Jersey shore. Well to say the least I was riveted to my beach chair and did not venture too far into the surf while I was reading this book. The author has done a great deal of historical and scientific research in this excellent historical narrative. Once you've read this one you'll be sure to loan it to a friend as there is much about this book that provokes exciting discussion. Even if you cannot read it at the beach... it will keep you riveted to your easy chair uneasily anticipating whatever is about to happen "next".
brings the past back to life........2007-02-12
from looking on amazon, it appears there is a kids version of this book that has been published (which seems strange to me given the subject matter, but okay), so, if you are an adult, be careful that you get a proper copy of this. but do get a copy. this book brings the eastern seaboard and the shark attacks that occurred there in 1916 vividly to life. the author evokes the time and place as well as could be expected from the reader, and gives a completely interesting narrative of this series of shark attacks. an excellent history piece of non-fiction writing that i highly recommend.
Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go Back In The Water.......2007-02-06
There was so much about this book that I enjoyed. To numerous to mention...but I will say, Mr. Capuzzo certainly interpreted that Nature positively owes us nothing, providing an amazing juxtaposition of those early Victorian Days down at the Jersey Shore, when women were not allowed to show their bodies in public, to a primitive medical knowledge, not to mention... primordial data of the ocean & sharks at that particular time.
This true account chronicle was brought to life, with a brash intrusion to feeling safe and the misunderstanding of the utility of force behind the jaws of sharks and the ability of some of their species to adapt to fresh water. Found this shark to be a decisive strategic eating machine offering no negotiations.
You should read this simply to imagine how things were then, and how far we've come to now.
On the whole a good book........2006-12-20
Mr. Capuzzo chooses to approach the 1916 phenomenon of mulitple shark attacks along the eastern seaboard almost from a cosmic perspective. This is a little annoying, since one finds oneself wondering what cosmic issues like "evolution of the species" have to do with a few shark attacks. However, on the whole this is excusable since the shark attacks described therein truly have had lasting significance. One aspect of this book I took exception to is Capuzzos breathless homage to the forces of evolution that supposedly created the magnificent eating machine, known as the Great White shark. As a creationist (someone who believes God designed and created the world) it troubles me that Capuzzo is so arrogant as to ascribe the glory of the shark to an impersonal force, as opposed to where the glory really belongs. If Capuzzo is so sure that nature formed the shark, then why can't he point to the fossilized remains of countless transitional forms between the shark as we know it today, and it's earliest ancestor? He can't, of course, because no such fossils exist. No, throughout history the shark has always been as it is today, for the simple reason that that is how the God of glory made them.
The true story of Jaws..........2006-08-04
Most shark enthusiasts have heard of the Jersey Shore attacks of 1916. They were the inspiration for Jaws and are referenced in the movie. Michael Capuzzo's book is a non-fiction novel (think In Cold Blood) of those attacks. Nowadays, the popular opinion is that these attacks were not the work of one shark. Capuzzo's book is daring because he asserts that they were all the work of one rogue great white shark. For those of you who follow such things, you know that the notion of a "rogue shark" - a deliberate man-eater - has fallen out of fashion. Yet, Capuzzo makes a compelling argument - after all, is it MORE likely that these freak attacks were the work of different sharks?
The book does not try to sensationalize the attacks - it doesn't need to. Just reading a straightforward account is frightening enough. When the shark cruises upriver to feed on boys who feel they are completely safe, the story has the feel of a nightmare. The thing is - it really happened.
Even aside from the shark attacks, this book is a fascinating history of the Jersey Shore. Back then, the Jersey Shore was the American Riviera; the wealthiest city-folk flocked there to escape from the heat. As the shark went rampaging up the coast, Woodrow Wilson was a few miles away at his summer white house in Long Branch, running the country from a bank office in Asbury Park. Close to Shore is valuable glimpse into a bygone era.

A question of cost.......2005-09-04
This is just a question: why is the price for this book $63.63? Let me know if it was just a typo, please.
Our travel bible!.......2004-06-26
This guide really did become our bible on our recent trip to the Dodecanese...we found ourselves saying over and over 'well, the guide says...' and, 'check in the guide book.' Nearly all the restaurant and lodging suggestions were right on, and the maps were sufficient for what you need. If you want to do a vacation just in the Dodecanese, I highly recommend this book!! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it is a bit outdated by now, with prices still in drachmas.

Try this book.......2005-05-18
The book was a ok book.The boy was in a club that was not for fun or anything like all the other club here. The boy want to get out but he couldn't.So they start to hurt him and they want to kill him know.
Great Book!.......2004-06-24
I thought this book was great. It was much better than the original Shadow Club and is filled with suspense. Sometimes it may seem violent but it was pretty good. I would reccomend this to anyone who liked read the original Shadow Club or just likes stories filled with suspense.
The Shadow Club is back. Or is it?.......2003-07-22
This is a sequel to The Shadow Club. In the first book, a group of students who seem to always be second best and never first, get together to form a revenge club. They pull a Hitchcockian maneuver where they each play pranks on one of the others' foes. But then things get out of hand.
In this sequel, the school hosts a new student. He is impossibly good at anything he tries. He has bested all of the best. Now the best are second best. Then the pranks starts and everyone thinks it is the work of The Shadow Club.
Jared, the ex-leader of the ex-club comes under the heaviest suspicion. He must work to try and clear his name but learns that no matter what you do, people will think what they want.
Is it an impossible task? Maybe. But you will have to read how Jared deals with it and how everything plays out. It is a page turner right to the end.
I remember a similar story on Disney's Recess, but here Shusterman takes the hard and serious line instead of the happy-go-lucky tone of the cartoon. Shusterman is so straight in this book that there in not even a single mention of Ralphy Sherman.
An excellent book that just might be better than the original.
Creepy as the title.......2002-03-21
I thought this book, well, downright creepy. I mean- Shadow Club Rising. Already sounds creepy. But the story just backs it up. I can't believe the cruel and sick things that those kids do to eachother. To heavily dislike someone because they're better than you and to keep it to yourself is ok.... but hating someone so much that you could seriously hurt them and not care... just because they're better than you.it's wrong. i think that if this is really what kids are like today, than our earth has no future.
Beware The Shadow Club and Your Past--it could haunt you........2002-03-05
Having not read The Shadow Club (1988), I found this sequel able to stand on its own. In October, Jared and the six other members of the Shadow Club were suspended when the school discovered the devious doings of the Shadow Club--kids who were always second best in the student body.
It's February now, and Jared has changed his ways. The problem is no one believes him. When Alec Smartz ("It was one of those cruel parental jokes a that would be an eternal mystery. But then on the other hand, it was so obvious that only a moron who try to take advantage of it. Whenever someone called him "Smart Alec," he would say .... 'Gee that's clever...'") comes to school and is perfect at everything, the student body takes note.
Practical jokes start to plague Alec, and all fingers point to Jared. Jared tries to re-convene the Shadow Club in an effort to find the source of these attacks but the six other members want to stay as far away from their previous deeds. Jared is on his own. As the practical jokes get worse and worse, Jared discovers that sometimes telling the truth isn't enough. The Shadow Club has taken on a life of its own.
I don't want to give away the important aspects of the story, so I will jump past the exciting and surprise ending and say that I found "Shadow Club Rising" a great and believable story. Many authors would have gone over the top and made this a tall tale, but Shusterman respects his characters. I love books that feature mean kids at this age level. It is so much a part of the daily life of a junior high student. The relationship Jared has with his guidance counselor is credible. It's good to see adults who aren't caricatures.
Book Description
This book is about the social life of monkeys, apes and humans. The central theme is the importance of social information and knowledge to a full understanding of primate social behavior and organization. Its main purpose is to stress evolutionary continuity, i.e. that there are direct connections between human and nonhuman society. This view is often downplayed elsewhere in the anthropological literature where the notion that humans have culture and animals do not is prevalent. Topics covered include an overview of the contexts of behavior; a comparison of blind strategies and tactical decision-making; social cognition; a review of intentionalist interpretations of behavior; kinship; language and its social implications; and the constraints of culture.
