Exactly what is says on the cover - an Ultimate Guide.

Reading the list of photo-credits at the back of this book is like reading the index in a "Who's Who in the world of Underwater Photography." There are colour photographs (though occasionally a map or diagram) on every single page and the standard of that photography is as good as it gets. As far as the content is concerned, this is also as good as it gets. If, for whatever reason, you were faced with being limited to purchasing a single book on the subject of Sharks (and there are hundreds to choose from) then this book will satisfy all your requirements. Yes, there is a section on Shark Attack - but this is not over-dramatised to make the reader walk in fear of going near the water's edge - as is the case is so many books. Instead we have a perfectly balanced record of the Shark and their close cousins the Rays. The book is well laid out and, once read, gives the reader a complete and wide understanding of these incredible creatures - many species of which are now on the brink of extinction. Altogether and excellent book and an essential addition to any scuba diver's library. NM
