Booklist
Following an introduction to these "misunderstood monsters" and an overview of their systems and lifestyle, Perrine offers a spellbinding shark gallery. Color action photographs and specifics on 18 species are provided. The author demonstrates that the shark faces greater peril from humankind than the reverse, for "compared to the 10^-15 people killed by sharks each year," humans are responsible for killing millions of sharks annually. The necessity of this marine predator in the natural system is stressed in Perrine's plea for greater understanding and environmental protection for the shark. Denise Perry Donavin
