Review # 1 was written on 2014-06-30 00:00:00 Douglas Arbuckle I didn't know anything about hammerhead sharks before reading this book outside of bits I'd seen in movies or TV - so my knowledge was pretty slim. I think what amazed me the most is how disinterested they are in humans - especially in light of so many shark attacks that were in the news this summer. Another solid book in this series - lots of pictures, information presented in an interesting manner. Maybe not quite as gripping as some of the books - there was less urgency here (less about saving the animals and more about making and IMAX film). Still a cool book and one a shark lover would enjoy.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-08-19 00:00:00 Andrew Lytle Summary: This book was about a man named Pete who studies hammerhead sharks. It talks about the way that humans affect sharks such as removing their fin, shark habits and diets, etc. It also explains the schooling that Pete went through to be able to work with sharks. Evaluation: I didn't dislike the book, but it's very wordy. I don't think that it would be able to keep the student's attention for very long. It's very interesting and informative though. Teaching Ideas: You could use part of this book when discussing the impact of humans on the environment. You could get multiple of the Scientist in the Field books for students to explore during a science lesson. You could have them in your classroom for students interested in sharks.
