Sharks and other ocean life, shown in detail

Organized as an illustrated reference, this encyclopedia ranges across 80 sharks and a wider cast of sea creatures, from rays and eels to narwhals and pufferfish. Short profiles introduce species alongside facts about their behavior and anatomy. Photography, digital imagery, and cutaway and cross-section artwork provide visual ways to examine features beneath the surface, while examples such as the hammerhead’s search for prey connect physical traits with how animals live. The broad selection makes the book as much an introduction to varied ocean inhabitants as a guide to sharks.
