Since 1948 there have been nearly four hundred alligator attacks in Florida. The state also leads the entire world in unprovoked shark attacks. Although rare, panther attacks in the Sunshine State have been historically authenticated. For the first time ever, discover the real stories behind the newspaper headlines on more than two dozen fatal alligator and shark attacks. Learn just how dangerous these predators can be and how you can personally avoid being the next statistic.
The book moves beyond these deadly encounters and explores the complex and strained relationship between mankind and his fellow predators. Near the end of the work, Sobczak explores several far more challenging issues facing mankind, including nuclear war, overpopulation, climate change and the potential for a worldwide pandemic. The section on the prospect of a worldwide pandemic, with the arrival of the corona virus, is especially prescient.
With 100% five star ratings on Amazon and a dozen solid reviews on Goodreads this is a book that will take you to the darker aspects of Florida living. This book is also available as an e-book on numerous platforms including Kindle, Apple Books, nook and several other leading e-book distributers.
