From Library Journal:

Well illustrated with photographs and line drawings, Sharks of the World is an attractive package of information on shark classification, anatomy, evolution, reproduction, and behavior. Written for the nonspecialist, this book is easily readable, save for a few sections where technical terminology is not defined in either the text or the brief glossary. Shark attack descriptions are a bit overwritten and repeat accounts found in many other "animal versus man" books. Although nicely done, this book does not cover its topic as well as the excellent Sharks by Sanford A. Moss ( LJ 3/1/85). For popular and YA collections.
