By John Hairr
Coachwhip Publications, Landisville, PA., contact Chad Arment, coachwhip.books@gmail.com, http://www.coachwhipbooks.com/titles/great-white-sharks-florida.html; softcover, 108 pp., 20 black and white photos, maps; $7.95.
No marine predator receives as much popular attention as the great white shark, yet this fascinating creature is still not well-known in all parts of its range. Through examination of historical records and interviews with those divers, fishermen, and marine biologists, author John Hairr brings some light to the travels of this species along the Florida coastline and in the Gulf of Mexico. Hairr documents the pioneering efforts to keep great white sharks in captivity at Marineland of Florida in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Several photos of sharks captured by marine scientists and fishermen in southeastern waters are included.

This book is a collection of 31 articles Larry Hodge wrote for Texas Highways magazine in the 1980s and 1990s, with a new introduction for each. Hodge’s favorite part of Texas lies west of Interstate 35, hence the title.

The introductions to the articles give insight into the author’s writing process, not to mention his love of doughnuts.
