Review

"Crawford explains well the variety (454 species) and wondrous biology of sharks (the great white has electrical sensors that can detect a heartbeat); traces sharks nicely through myth and fiction, holding in view Moby-Dick, Jaws and the novels of Hemingway; and outlines the politics of aquaria and shark-fin soup. . . . The pictures are breathtaking, too."—Guardian

(Guardian )

"Shark is a completely perfect book about sharks — ogle that elegant cover and unadorned title, both as sleek as their subject — limpidly written by Dean Crawford and speckled with striking photos and artwork."--Chris Garcia, Austin 360 (Austin 360 )

"A beautiful book about sharks? Yes, Shark, by Dean Crawford is one of a series of gorgeous, small format animal tomes by British publisher Reaktion Books. This 150-page shark primer has lovely color plates on almost every page of art-quality stock, and the writing is good, too. . . Crawford''s the Alan Dershowitz of the finny deep. I loved this book."--Alex Beam, Boston Globe

(Boston Globe )

"Rigorously researched and scholarly, yet highly accessible and entertaining, Shark urges us to see the incredibly sophisticated animal behind the terrifying caricature that society has created." (Tri-City News )
