Sharks in one form or another have inhabited our seas and oceans for more than 400 million years. They were here long before dinosaurs roamed the Earth and they witnessed the rise of our own species.
Awe-inspiring, beautiful, mysterious, frightening: sharks have been described in many ways and provoke a mixture of feelings. But they never do less than excite and impress. In this beautifully illustrated book, shark expert Mark Carwardine tells the story of these wonderful creatures from their early beginnings in a prehistoric world to their struggle for survival today.
