Just finished reading "The Secret History of Sharks: The Rise of the Ocean's Most Fearsome Predators" by John Long, released by Ballantine Books.
Long, who is the strategic professor of paleontology at Flinders University, covers sharks from their evolution until today in "The The Secret History of Sharks. His writing is entertaining and factual, and he hooks readers by sharing anecdotes from his work of fossil discovery, as well as other scientists in his field, which leads the narrative to scientific facts. The book chronicles the evolution of sharks from their size, what they eat, and the importance of shark species’ teeth, which allow the fish to survive. It also includes extinct sharks, which sharks are related to and how they became what they are today, the impact sharks have on humans, and our impact on sharks' lives. Furthermore, the images and illustrations by the author and others based on their fossil finds clarify understanding.
A great, fun read on sharks.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
TEN STARS!
