Sharks

Rate this book
With their sharp teeth and keen sense of prey, sharks outlived dinosaurs and have survived 400 million years. BBC journalist and veteran diver John McIntyre has been swimming close to these sleek, swift predators for much of his adult life. His Savage Predators of the Oceans is both a tribute to these mythic creatures and a cogent examination of our often-bumbling encounters with them.

Good reading, sadly not too deep on information just basics which one might already know. Great photography including one Dear to me of a shark taken by a UM that is University of Miami Marine Biologist. Very quick reading like a refresher more of a pictorial at just under 100 pages.

Porque jamás es suficiente cuando se trata de tiburones, y este libro es perfecto, así se simple. No solo por la información que brinda sobre estas criaturas hermosas y temibles, sino por las imágenes impactantes que lo acompañan. Muchos datos curiosos, muchas cosas que están buenas para tener en cuenta y reflexionar para ver a los escualos como algo más que "máquinas de asesinar".

I got this for research at school. It was very interesting. You'd be surprised at how little you know about sharks.

Die wichtigsten Informationen auf einen Blick, tolle Bilder und interessante Geschichten. Vielleicht ein wenig kurz, aber die Anschaffung lohnt sich für jeden Tauch- und/oder Haifan:-).
