Product Description

Education Today, March 2002
'Spectacular colour photography...a comprehensive and up-to-date reference for anyone with a keen interest in these intriguing animals.'

Product Description
Sharks have been worshipped by ancient civilizations, reviled by seafarers, consumed by gourmets and studied by marine biologists. Their powerful, streamlined bodies inspire ship and submarine designers, and their immune system may help in fighting diseases. Yet, it is their formidable jaws and teeth that invoke fear that turns any shark attack into frontpage news. This exploration of findings from research groups worldwide reveals sharks to be much more than just mindless, killing machines. It shows how sharks are the product of over 450 million years of evolution, honed to perfection as some of the sea's most sophistiated predators.

3.0 out of 5 stars INFORMATIVE YET A BIT DISSAPOINTING, 24 Dec 2002
From the look and the price of this book I thought I was going to be in for a treat however I was left feeling a bit cheated. The photography in this book is really quite spectacular at times and is impressive compared to other books of this nature but the content itself is a let down. Rather thin on appearence, the book contains general catagories on sharks like biology and behaviour and goes onto explain about different species of sharks. It only seems to touch on most of the major species but just doesn't go into enough detail which is a shame. For the price I wouldn't condone it's value for money but it does have a good chunk on shark conservation which is an important subject.
