The Shark: Nature's Masterpiece

by R.D. Lawrence, Gary Low (Illustrator)

Believing that biologists must show the relationships of sharks with other marine animals to truly understand them, RD Lawrence takes us into his own world of close personal encounters with "the most physically perfect of all life forms." The result is a scientific study that reads like a fast-paced novel.
