This book provides a rich resource of information with maximum impact and minimum clutter. Exactly 1000 facts are covered by 100 topics, each with 10 key points that provide a simple but memorable handle on the subject. Fascinating information panels as well as extended captions amplify this quick fire approach. Here are examples of the many remarkable facts you will find in sharks: sharks range in size from about the size of a banana to bigger than a bus; and engineers sometimes study sharks' fins and bodies to find the best shapes for aeroplane wings or boat hulls.
