Sharks are some of the oldest creatures on the earth (or, rather, in its waters). This epic survey follows sharks from their earliest appearance in the Paleozoic era up through the challenges they face today.

Along the way, readers will meet many different sharks from different points in history. They will get an up-close evolutionary look at what makes a shark a shark—like their skin, their teeth, their fins, and more. And they will get a crash course in archeological time, as the book mostly covers prehistoric sharks or modern-day sharks who have been around much longer than humans. Like the hammerhead, who has been patrolling tropical coastlines for more than 20 million years!

With lush illustrations from Gordy Wright and meticulous research from author Miriam Forster, Sharks: A Mighty, Bite-y History is sure to delight shark lovers, science fans, and any reader who loves to discover new wonders about the world around them.

鲨鱼是地球上（或者说，在其水域中）最古老的生物之一。这部史诗般的调查报告讲述了鲨鱼从最早出现的古生代到今天所面临的挑战。

一路上，你们将遇到来自不同历史时期的鲨鱼，近距离观察鲨鱼的进化过程，如它们的皮肤、牙齿、鱼鳍等，了解鲨鱼的特点。你们将得到一个考古学时间的速成课程，因为这本书主要涉及史前鲨鱼和现代鲨鱼，它们存在的时间比人类长很多。比如双髻鲨，它已经在热带海岸线上巡逻了两千多万年了！

戈迪·赖特（Gordy Wright）绘制的丰富插图配上作者米里亚姆·福斯特（Miriam Forster）的细致研究，相信会让鲨鱼爱好者、科学爱好者以及任何喜欢发现周围世界新奇事物的读者高兴。
