THE BEST OF ITS KIND!

This is the most informative, detailed shark book that I have had the pleasure of reading and believe me I have read a lot of them. The book covers many different aspects of the shark, including its evolution, ecology, various species, shark attacks and the behaviour of the shark. It also distinguishes between what is myth and what is reality behind the sharks history. Overall this is a very interesting and educational read which should be a necessity to any shark enthusiasts.

A great introductory book to those interested in sharks.

An excellent book written by some of the leaders in thier fields of expertise. The text is easily understood by those outside of scientific research and is complemented with numerous pictures and diagrams.
