What is Lady with a Spear about?

Memoir of the famous marine biologist, including accounts of early SCUBA diving and other intrepid adventures. A very interesting account of field work in remote areas by a pioneering woman scientist. I found her reports of collecting specimens distressing because of the large numbers of animals killed, but this was standard practice at the time. Clark was a biologist specializing in fish, who conducted research in the Mariana Islands and on the Red Sea. Her entertaining account of the people and animals she encountered is both interesting and informative. There is a section of black & white photos from her travels. "Sharing the fun of fishing turns strangers into friends in a few hours. Whether you sit with native fishermen in their boat and fish with nets and lines or dive under the sea with them - they will lead you to the haunts of the specimens you desire and you could not find yourself in safer and more enjoyable company."
