Great White Sharks

In this comprehensive guide to the great white shark, you'll learn about when and why sharks attack (and what to do if you find yourself staring a great white in the face). You'll also learn about where these incredible creatures create their habitat, what they like (and don't like) to eat, their mysterious migration patterns, and why scientists have had such a difficult time learning more about the elusive great white. Delve into the biology of exactly what has made it possible for great white sharks to remain top predators for over 400 million years (that's right--they've been around since before dinosaur times). From their mind-blowing sense of smell to their ability to sense electromagnetic fields, great white sharks seem like a work of science fiction, but they couldn't be any more real. Every book in The Amazing World of Sharks is full of fascinating information about where and how sharks live. From the well-known great white shark to the hardly seen goblin shark, this series will take you on a journey deep into the ocean's depths where you'll learn about different shark species and how they can be protected. Each title in this series includes color photos throughout, and back matter including: an index and further reading lists for books and internet resources.

Educational Videos are offered in chapters through the use of a QR code, that, when scanned, takes the student to an online video showing a moment in sports' history, a speech, or an instructional video. This gives the readers additional content to supplement the text. Text-Dependent Questions are placed at the end of each chapter. They challenge the reader's comprehension of the chapter they have just read, while sending the reader back to the text for more careful attention to the evidence presented there. Research Projects are provided at the end of each chapter as well and provide readers with suggestions for projects that encourage deeper research and analysis. And a Series Glossary of Key Terms is included in the back matter containing terminology used throughout the series.
