Shark Trouble
Devil's Teeth

So credit Susan Casey not just with finding and spotlighting two biologists who have done truly pioneering field research on the beasts but also with following them and their subjects into the heart of one...
Adventures With Sharks
Written by an admitted "shark junkie" Jonathan Bird is also a professional underwater photographer who just happens to be fascinated by sharks. In this exciting photographic journey, the author shares his adventures and discoveries photographing sharks around the world. He details the thrills, dangers and disappointments of working with wild sharks in the open ocean and beyond.
Great White Shark
McCosker & Ellis give the white shark soup-to-nuts coverage, discussing its unique biology, size, distribution, and evolution. They also describe the sport of shark fishing and the efforts, in these conservation conscious times, toward saving the white from threats of extinction. Handsomely illustrated with Ellis's paintings and many simply awesome photographs (happily none of half-eaten attack victims), the text has enough scientific fact for armchair icthyologists but not enough to confuse the casual reader. - Michael Rogers, "Library Journal"
Great White Sharks
The Biology of Carcharadon carcharias
"The authors have accomplished the difficult talk of writing a serious scientific work representing our current state of knowledge regarding this great beast and making it interesting, informative, and understandable to the lay public. It would be a welcome addition to any ocean enthusiast's library."
- SCUBA DIVER
The Secret Life of Sharks
A fascinating well written book, guaranteed to keep the shark enthusiast turning pages.
Sharks In Question
Traditionally, most books on sharks have been organized family by family, making it difficult for the general reader to get an overall picture of what is known of shark habits and behavior. This book presents research and information in a more readable, accessible fashion. The photographs are unusually good, including clear pictures of embryo sharks and species rarely seen. A valuable addition to public and academic libraries.
