Selected Bibliography

Shark is a portrait of the ocean's least understood predator. Despite Holly-wood's portrayal of the shark as a vicious deep sea killer, shark attacks occur so rarely that more people die from bee and wasp stings each year than from shark bites. In fact, sharks are much more in danger from humans than vice versa. Due to heavy commercial and sports-fishing in the last two decades, shark populations have plummeted in every region of the world. Shark meat is more often used as dog food than sustenance for humans. Ecologists worry that their disappearance will disrupt the ecology of the ocean, and in some countries sharks are officially protected.
In this one fact-filled book, readers will learn to distinguish the myth from the reality surrounding sharks. Sections about the natural history of sharks, and what is being done to protect them, are interwoven with amazing explanations of how sharks see and hear in their underwater world.
In this exploration of marine life, Shark explains how different species have adapted to different marine environ-ments shallow bays and estuaries, cold rocky coastlines, and the coral reefs of the tropics.
With the more than 350 species that swim in the world's oceans, the many wonders of their existence and survival are revealed. Readers will discover how sharks are born, what they eat, and how they differ from one another. They will gain a greater appreciation of sharks and come to understand that this creature's notoriety is largely undeserved.
Marty Snyderman's enlightening text is complemented by a selection of his own stunning underwater photography. A well-known photographer, he brings to life his first-hand accounts of swimming with, photographing, and filming sharks. Some 80 full-color images promise to delight anyone curious about sharks and their underwater world.
