Trade ReviewOne of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2005 "This is a reference anyone in any age group or level of knowledge could use easily. You don't need to be a shark fan for Sharks of the World to be a useful addition to your library: this is one book I'd recommend to any diver or naturalist any day."--Virginia Cowell, Diver Magazine "The reader learns about shark biology (body structure, teeth and jaws, senses, life history, etc) and the interactions between sharks and people, both good and bad. This is a very nice, handy-sized guide for those interested in sharks and their conservation."--Robert E. Hoopes, Wildlife Activist "The amazing diversity of these magnificent yet maligned animals is wonderfully represented here."--Christine Adkins, Discovery
