Welcome to the world of sharks!

McDonald gives us a nice overview of sharks as a species and then focuses on several of the standouts. There is a nod to mutualism and to extinct species, too. The illustrious are a nice touch - while she could have easily used photographs, I think students who are sparked by the book will happily look up shark photos and videos online.
