“A valuable addition to public and academic libraries.”—Susan
Klimley, Columbia University Libraries
“Dramatically and specifically illustrated with color photographs
and line drawings, this book reveals scientifically factual answers
to questions commonly asked about these fascinating and fearsome
creatures. The book concludes with information on how to become a
shark specialist.”—School Library Journal
“Traditionally, most books on sharks have been organized family by
family, making it difficult for the general reader to get an
overall picture of what is known of shark habits and behavior. This
book presents research and information in a more readable,
accessible fashion, as answers to common questions: What do sharks
eat? How fast can sharks swim? Where do sharks live? References to
the appropriate scientific literature follow each explanation, and
a complete bibliography is provided. The photographs are unusually
good, including clear pictures of embryo sharks and species rarely
seen. A valuable addition to public and academic
libraries.”—Library Journal
