Whether you are studying marine biology, or just love these perfect predators, this book will be one that you pluck from your collection time and time again."---Nick and Caroline Robertson-Brown, Scubaverse "A thoughtful, easy read, suitable either for dipping into or working through, and would look good on any shark divers shelves."---Steve Weinman, Divernet "Many people experience irrepressible fear while swimming in the presence of sharks but exhibit deep interest in sharks when safely ashore. This text will satisfy the latter urge and may even mitigate some of the former concern."---S.R. Fegley, Choice "Every one of those pages has a story, and with its beautiful photographs and clear text the book is a must for anyone even vaguely interested in sharks or the ocean. This is a book for the desk not the shelf; each random dip inside will reveal a fascinating did you know nugget it will be a long-lived reference for amateur and expert alike."---Kelvin Boot, Ocean Challenge
