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" |

to any ocean enthusiast's library."

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.
