Product Description

Review

'a vivid and detailed insight into the lives of these enigmatic animals...enlivened with anecdotes...a popular addition to a school or public library'
--Reference Reviews (2009)

Product Description

This book is an up-to-date account of the world's most primitive and feared predators. It covers their evolution, their powerful bodies and amazing senses, and how they swim, hunt, feed, breed, hibernate, migrate and survive in the aquatic environment. It is fully illustrated with stunning images made possible by the latest advances in underwater photography, as well as cutaway diagrams, maps and charts. There are also detailed profiles of a wide range of shark species, including the great white, tiger shark, thresher, megamouth, and the greatest fish on the planet, the whale shark.

First Sentence
During all that time, sharks have been honed to evolutionary perfection, with a body that yacht and submarine designers can only envy and with wide-ranging sensory systems that military technologists would die for. Read the first page

Lovely Looking Book, Full of Shark Stuff! 2 Dec 2011

By JenIguana

Format:Paperback

I bought this for my son (10) who is shark mad. It's a lovely looking book, full of facts and information, with lots of nice pictures too. The content is suitable for adults and older children alike. It's a good thick book, and well worth the money. A must for any shark fan!

Flawed 15 Jun 2011

By Badger's Book Club

Format:Paperback

Lovely book for people interested in learning more about sharks however pages 50 and 52 depict photos of two different species of shark and yet have the exact same blurb written about them. My low rating therefore is because if this obvious flaw was not picked up by the editors how many more are found throughout the book?
