(4) YA Deadliest Predators series. After a general introduction titled "Apex Predators," six chapters cover individual types of sharks (great white, tiger shark, spotted wobbegong, etc.). Topics include appearance, habitat, hunting and capturing prey, and threat-level to humans; the text's tone is sometimes reassuring, sometimes gruesome. "At-a-Glance" sidebars are useful for comparison. The dense text is off-putting, but the many photos should fascinate shark fans. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
