"A kinder, gentler view of what many consider the ocean's apex predator. . . . Many of the fact are accompanied by detailed and often charming illustrations."---Brandy Schillace, Wall Street Journal "The book really stands out from the crowd. Whilst the reader will learn all about the life cycle, evolution, habitats and threats of these charismatic creatures, they do so in a way that really engages the reader. It tells the story of sharks with more than a dash of literary flair. . . . Any shark enthusiast will enjoy this book. . . . And it is a joy to read." * Scubaverse * "Accessibly written, lovingly illustrated, and shorn of sensationalism, it makes for a great first book on shark biology for non-biologists."---Leon Vlieger, The Inquisitive Biologist "For those with an inquiring turn of mind, this can only serve to enhance the experience of learning about sharks. . . . The book is delicately illustrated with watercolours."---David Gascoigne, Travels with Birds "An attractive and illuminating route to understanding sharks."---Steve Weinman, Divernet
