A richly illustrated and comprehensive introduction to the
world’s sharks Sharks are the top predators in many marine
ecosystems. But tales of the killer instincts and fearsomely sharp
senses of these hunters can obscure their full life histories. In
fact, sharks are characterful, exhibit surprisingly complex
behaviors, and lead secretive lives full of interest in every type
of marine habitat. The Lives of Sharks is a fascinating and
beautifully illustrated guide to these iconic marine creatures from
two world-renowned experts. This book explores shark physiology,
anatomy, behavior, ecology, and evolution, as well as conservation
and the impact of human activity on shark populations. With
stunning photographs and illustrations, as well as profiles of
selected species, this is a comprehensive, authoritative, and
inviting introduction to global shark life today.
