Shark! The very word evokes the image of a savage predator patrolling the ocean with open jaws, attacking unsuspecting swimmers at will. Yet, in reality, sharks don't deserve such a bloody reputation. The great white shark of movie fame is but one of 350 species, most of which are far less ferocious, though equally fascinating. In this informative book, author Eric Grace gives readers an intriguing glimpse into the world of these mysterious creatures, which are designed like "underwater flying machines". Their unique body structure as well as their ways of hunting and reproducing are presented in fascinating detail, with stunning color photos on nearly every page. Grace also calls attention to the plight of sharks, which have been hit hard by the effects of commercial fishing and pollution, among other factors. As people gain a new appreciation for sharks, it is to be hoped that more voices will be raised in defense of these sleek and powerful creatures of the ocean.
