Nuinui - SHARKS - MASTERS OF THE SEAS FROM PREHISTORY TO THE PRESENT DAY

Ferocious predators with few rivals, they have survived mass extinctions and evolved into multiple forms, some truly incredible. Thanks to the PNSO formula, which combines art with science, these pages full of illustrations and up-to-date information tell the secret life of these formidable creatures, extinct and living, and their closest relatives. From ancient horned sharks to modern sword-wielding sharks, from the mighty 7-meter-long white shark to the three-times-larger Carcharocles, to the Helicoprion with its “circular saw” composed of 40 sharp teeth, the book offers great emotions to readers of all ages, who will discover that these predators are more defenseless than they may seem. Threatened by uncontrolled fishing and human activities, sharks are now “monsters”, but they must be protected and saved. The four-panel openings with stunning color plates realistically reproduce the most impressive species, for an extraordinary adventure to discover the mysteries and secrets that, even today, are hidden in the depths of the sea.
