Straightforward facts and photos for the general reader.

Contraportada:

There are at least 300 species of sharks that roam the waters of the earth. Some are only a foot long. Other sharks grow to forty feet or more. There are fast sharks and slow ones, shy sharks and bold. Not all sharks attack man; not all live in salt water. For all that we know about sharks, there remains much that we do not know. The Natural History of Sharks is a thorough, expert guide to the knowns (and unknowns) of these fascinating creatures.This is a classic of natural history, written for the non-specialist and extensively illustrated. Learn the habits and patterns of the major species of sharks - the great white, mako, blue, hammerhead, bull, nurse and many more - and follow the story of their often stormy relationship to man and to their fellow sea creatures. The diet of sharks is eclectic (in one was found a raincoat, three overcoats and a car license plate) and their habits complex and fascinating. The Natural History of Sharks explores the intricate world of these compelling creatures - as predators, angling trophies, biological phenomena and, for centuries, inspirers of fear in men at sea. (51/2 X 81/4, 256 pages, b&w photos, illustrations)
