Juliet Eilperin is the national environmental reporter for The Washington Post, where she writes about science, policy, and politics in areas ranging from climate change to oceans. A graduate of Princeton University, she lives with her family in Washington, D.C.
"For this inclusive and important book, Eilperin traveled around
the world to find people who study, fish for, dive with, venerate,
or have been attacked by sharks . . . . [she] discusses many others
who have brought sharks into human consciousness--Jules Verne,
Edgar Allen Poe, Ernest Hemingway, and Jacques Cousteau; to this
list, we must now add Eilperin herself."
--Richard Ellis, The American Scholar
"More books probably have been written about sharks than about any
other creatures that live in the sea, so when I opened this one I
was skeptical: What could it possibly add? A great deal, it turns
out . . . Eilperin circles the world in pursuit of sharks and the
people who love and hate them . . . whether they are killers or
protectors, she tells their stories with fairness and
understanding. I forgot the time as I immersed myself in the world
of sharks. Whether you've never read a book about sharks or have a
shelf full of them, this is a book for you."
--Callum Roberts, The Washington Post "Eilperin investigates the
greatest threats to sharks: the shark fin trade and the ecological
and economic forces affecting shark populations . . . The book is
certainly timely. And Demon Fish does the subject justice."
--David McGuire, San Francisco Chronicle
"Poised to be one of the summer's most compelling beach reads."
--Rachel Syme, NPR.org "In this wide-ranging natural history of
shark-human relations, the author recounts frank interviews with an
entertaining cast of scientists, fishermen, wholesalers, chefs, and
eco-tour operators, all of whom have a stake in the survival of the
oceans' top predators. She also gets into the water with the
sharks. For readers who like passionate investigative
reporting."
--Rick Roche, Booklist "In this fascinating and meticulously
reported book, Juliet Eilperin crisscrosses the globe, on the trail
of one of the most mysterious creatures. She illuminates not only
the hidden nature of the seas, but also the societies whose
survival depend on them."
--David Grann, author of The Lost City of Z "Hate, fear, envy, awe,
worship. Of the many shark books, precious few explore the
human-shark relationship. And none do with such style as Juliet
Eilperin does in this fact-packed, fast-paced narrative. This is
the shark book for the person who wants to understand both what
sharks are, and what sharks mean. Bite into it."

Lazy Point; A Natural Year in an Unnatural World
