The first pocket guide to all 501 shark species, all species illustrated and described in a handy, compact format with concise text. Includes a six-page guide to shark teeth identification and an an eight-page guide to the identification of the shark fins most commonly encountered in the fin trade

The waters of the northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea are home to an amazing variety of sharks, rays and chimaeras. This comprehensive and easy-to-use field guide covers all 146 species found in the Mediterranean, the waters of the European Atlantic and Iceland, along all the Scandinavian coasts, in the Black Sea and as far south as the Canary Islands. Detailed species accounts describe key identification features, habitat, biology and status. Every species account comes with a colour distribution map, a depth guide, at-a-glance icons and colour illustrations. This must-have field guide also features illustrated key guides that enable you to accurately identify down to species, comparison plates of similar species, illustrations of eggcases where known and plates of teeth.

The definitive field guide to all the sharks, rays and chimaeras of eastern North America The waters off the East Coast of North America are home to an amazing variety of sharks, rays and chimaeras. This groundbreaking, comprehensive and easy-to-use field guide covers all 173 species found along the eastern seaboard of the United States and Canada, including Bermuda and the Bahamas, and extending into the Gulf of Mexico to the Yucatan Peninsula. These are all the species that are encountered in the shallow waters of estuaries and coasts and in the open ocean, including rarely seen deepsea species.

These proceedings contain the papers presented at VisSym '01, the third Joint Visuali- zation Symposium of the Eurographics Association and the Technical Committee on Visualization and Graphics (TCVG) of the IEEE Computer Society. The symposium is being held from May 28 to May 30, 2001, in Ascona, Switzerland. The number of submitted papers has again increased to reach 68 this year and their high quality made it possible to extend the program to 33 presentations. VisSym has grown from a mostly European workshop to a visualization event of global signifi- cance, which is best illustrated by the 13 contributions from outside Europe. We observed that the spectrum of topics has been quite stable over the last few years, with volume visualization, surface extraction, information visualization and vis- ualization of vector fields and terrains as major areas of interest. A continuing trend ap- pearing in many of these areas is the shift to multi-resolution techniques. Looking at applications, biomedical visualization is this year predominant, but also noticeable are the three automotive applications which could indicate rapidly growing interest in vis- ualization in this area.
