“The book grabbed me, … So I sat down and read it”. — Virginia Cowell, Diver Magazine

The amazing diversity of these magnificent yet maligned animals is wonderfully represented here.

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.

The Encyclopedia of Sharks (Paperback)
~ Steve Parker (Author)

Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This reference, which provides comprehensive information on sharks and their relatives, should help readers gain a much better appreciation of this special group of ancient fishes, probably the most maligned group of animals in our popular culture. The text consists of two-page articles, each covering a different aspect of sharks, including evolution, taxonomy, behavior, geographical ranges, reproduction, physiology, and the shark’s place in mythology. Enhanced by many photographs, sidebars, and charts, these short articles are to read and enjoy;the writing style is aimed at high school and nonscientist adults. A good index and excellent glossary round out the book, which lacks only a bibliography. Recommended for high school, college, and public libraries, especially those without strong marine biology collections.AMargaret A. Rioux, MBL/WHOI Lib., Woods Hole, MA
Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. –This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
From Booklist
The perennially popular sharks provide ample material for many books, and this new effort is a good introduction to the biology of these predatory fishes. Sharks, the terrifying cold-blooded killing machines of myth and legend, fascinate because of their mystery when coming out of the depths and seizing their prey. Improving the shark’s image by being realistic and sensible about them is one of the stated goals of this work, and the authors have succeeded admirably. In seven chapters, divided into short sections, they discuss the evolution of sharks, their senses, internal organs, behavior, foods and feeding, and reproduction. Well illustrated with photographs, color drawings, maps, and diagrams, the text is basic yet informative in discussing sharks as a group. A list of aquariums with captive shark displays and areas where interested readers can dive with sharks follows the main body of the text. The lack of a bibliography is a weakness, but overall this will be a good start for readers interested in sharks. Nancy Bent –This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
