«The introductory material is one of the best overviews of shark natural history and the issues facing sharks I have read... the book is also scientifically rigorous and highly readable without ever being sensational. As with all Johns Hopkins University Press books, the photographs are top notch and the design is beautiful enough to sit on your coffee table.
