One of the planet’s oldest and most misunderstood animals, this guide helps to de-mystify sharks and inform about their value in the ocean eco-system. The World of Sharks – edited by world-famous naturalist Jeff Corwin – teaches about the way sharks evolved, how they are built and how they behave, reproduce and survive in different habitats around the world. It also highlights some of the most familiar and unique species found worldwide, their current status, what to do if you encounter a shark in the wild and what you can do to help to conserve and protect these spectacular creatures. This folding pocket guide is the ideal reference for shark-lovers and teachers alike.
