Review:

The Insiders series of books are packed with great visual presentations of specific topics. This book is about the dreaded Shark, and covers a large variety of these feared creatures of the sea.

While there are very few photos in this book there are ample computer generated images that have a distinct life like appearance to them. The book goes through the different species of sharks, their physiology, breading and eating habits, history of the creatures over time and habitats.

The diagrams and cutaways of the various aspects of sharks makes this book very educational and helpful in understanding more about this great creature.

Great design and very informative.
