Sharks: Ancient Predators in a Modern Sea
Jorgensen (shark researcher, Monterey Bay Aquarium) presents this lavishly illustrated exposition on the variety, history, physiology and behavior of sharks. The evolutionary history and current diversity of sharks are explored, followed by life and reproductive cycles, details of anatomical function, and migratory and predatory behavior.
