Endangered! Sharks



Nobleman, Marc Tyler. Sharks. Marshall Cavendish Benchmark: 2009. ISBN: 9780761429883.

Nobleman takes Sharks, a somewhat terrifying topic to most people, and puts the intimidating creatures into a new perspective. Sharks are normally looked upon as a malicious creatures and are known, especially in movies, for human attacks. However, after reading the factual information presented, the reader is somewhat sympathetic to the predators that seem to be increasingly becoming the prey. The illustrations are fabulous photographs with a variety of interesting angles and perspectives. By looking at the photos I feel like I have had a close up encounter with a real shark. The captions and index are very well laid out and informative. This book is a very captivating and powerful one which will make the reader want to go out and learn more about sharks and how to save the sharks from becoming endangered.
