• Anatomy and physiology
• Reproduction, courtship, and mating
• How they hunt and what they eat

• Shark conservation efforts.

Chapters such as Shark Success, Ecology and Biology, Design for Living and Design for Killing fascinate and encourage readers to learn more about these complex creatures.
