Sharks: Ancient Predators in a Modern Sea

Sharks are exquisite creatures, refined and honed by competitive forces over millions of years, thriving in balance with their prey when left undisturbed. They live in every ocean habitat on Earth, from shallow tide pools to the deep abyss, and from the open ocean to where rivers meet the sea.

In Sharks a top research scientist explores what has made these creatures such successful predators, how they differ from other animals in their biological success and in the unique advantages conferred upon them by evolution.

Sharks is illustrated with uniquely sourced photography demonstrating newly observed behavior scientific findings and recent developments in our understanding of how they live. Sharks is both a spectacular visual celebration and a scientific document that explores in detail their unique physiology.
