We still have a lot to learn about these fascinating creatures, which are more seriously threatened with extinction and in greater need of conservation and management than any other major group of vertebrates. <p/><i>A Pocket Guide to Sharks of the World</i> is the only field guide to identify, illustrate, and describe every known shark species. Its compact format makes it handy for many situations, including recognizing living species, fishery catches, or parts sold at markets. This expanded second edition presents lavish images, details on newly discovered species, and updated text throughout. The book contains useful sections on identifying shark teeth and the shark fins most commonly encountered in the fin trade, and takes a look at shark biology, ecology, and conservation. <i>A Pocket Guide to Sharks of the World</i> will be an essential resource and definitive reference for years to come.<br></p><ul><li>An updated guide to all of the world's sharks</li><li>Each species is illustrated and described</li><li>Handy, compact format with concise text</li><li>Useful sections on the identification of shark teeth and fins</li></ul><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This pocket guide is perfect for those on a budget, for those wanting something they will have to hand when out and about, as well as to just marvel at the shear diversity of sharks and to learn more about how to identify them.
