Description

Every volume of Science Comics is a complete introduction to a particular topic-dinosaurs, coral reefs, the solar system, volcanoes, bats, flying machines, and more. These gorgeously illustrated graphic novels offer wildly entertaining views of their subjects. Whether you're a fourth grader doing a natural science unit at school or a thirty-year-old with a secret passion for airplanes, these books are for you! This volume: In Sharks, we explore one of the most unfairly villainized and Hollywood-famous underwater predators. With their 400-million year history, their vital role in maintaining the ecosystem, their incredible specialized adaptations, and their various unique species, there is a lot more to sharks than just their ferocious jaws.

Reviews

Praise for the Science Comics series: This series--written by a handful of authors--seems determined to offer a useful introduction to anything a curious grade-school student might wonder about. The insight behind these books is a powerful one. So much information about the world around us is actually better conveyed visually, through charts, illustrations, and sequential panels, than purely using words. --New York Times Like having a Time Life Science Library in comic books. Which is awesome! --Popular Science Praise for Science Comics: Sharks: Detailed illustrations complement the text beautifully, with close-ups of the various features of different sharks as well as useful diagrams and charts. An accessible and inviting work, recommended for most libraries. -School Library Journal, starred review
