Sharks in Question

If I had to recomend one book to the layman or budding scientist interested in sharks this would be it. It has excellent info on the biology, taxonomy, evolution and ecology of sharks. While all the information is based on the most recent science it is geared toward the reader who might not have a biology education. It also has an superb bibliography for anyone wanting to delve further into this facinating topic.

A good basic comprhensive look at sharks.

This is a very interesting book. I liked the way the authors structured the information in the for of answers to some basic questions people have about sharks. If I had any complaints it would be about the shortage of color pictures. Also all the color pictures were inserted as plates into a 12 page section of the book, instead of over the whole book. Even with that complaint I would reccomend this book to anyone interested in sharks.
