Excellent reference and reading
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
While this book has been written in a very easy to read manner, the text reflects correct terminology and factual information that is great for someone wishing to learn more about sharks. It is the kind of book that can be used as a reference book, but is written in such a way that one could almost read it as a novel - certainly nothing is presented in a boring or confusing fashion. The photographs and informative text are of great value and the book layout makes it easy to access and grasp relevant information. One of the best shark books I have purchased to date!
Shark Week Is Every Week
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I've been a shark fanatic for years -- ever since a friend gave me an old Jacque Cousteau book on Life and Death in a Coral Reef. If Discovery Channel wanted a poster child for their Shark Week documentaries -- I'm it. I can't read enough about sharks. What I like about this book is that it's not another book about shark attacks or sharks as killer fish. It's not a book about "man faces beast" though it has enough information about shark attacks (which is probably what draws most people to the Discovery Channel in the first place,) but it really teaches shark lovers all about the biology, the science and habitat of sharks, and about different types of sharks that I never knew existed. This is a solid book by a great writer and scientist. Great photos as well!
An Incredible Exploration of Sharks and their World
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
When you open this book, you will immediately be blown away by the incredible images. A celebrated National Geographic photographer provided the photos for this complete handbook, so it's bound to be a visually stunning experience. The text itself is written by one of the world's leading shark experts, so I was not surprised to find the content both informative and thoroughly fascinating. This book is an incredible experience for anyone with even a remote interest in sharks, and the information couldn't come from a more knowledgeable (and trustworthy!) source. Kids will be captivated by the images, and adults will be drawn into the information. Shark fans will dive into this guide head first, and those with even a mild interest these fascinating creatures will be hooked immediately. I recommend this great book to all!
