Sharks in Question The Smithsonian Answer Book

Sharks in Questionis a collective response to the thousands of questions about sharks received annually by scientists at Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. Written in a question-and-answer format accompanied by more than 100 photographs and illustrations, the book provides knowledge for a general audience as well as students of marine biology. Victor Springer provides a comprehensive review of the biology of sharks in three broad divisions: shark biology and evolutionary history, the "supersharks" notable for their life history, size, or temperament, and the interactions between sharks and humans, including the risk of shark attack.

Victor G. Springer has been curator since 1961 in the Department of Vertebrate Zoology, Division of Fisheries, at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History
