seem to add to the story. as expected, hardly read this book during semester. The more scientific research discovers about the functioning of the human body, the more obvious a planned, "intelligent design" by God becomes.
High school and college anatomy and physiology textbooks usually present an evolutionist view without presenting accurate, truthful explanations of what is known and what is theory. Awesome book about sharks. So if you see one cheap, GET IT!
