'Will keep you on the edge of your seat from its first page to its last page' -Jared Diamond, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel From ancient megalodons to fearsome Great Whites, this book tells the complete, untold story of how sharks emerged as Earth's ultimate survivors, by world-leading paleontologist John Long. Sharks have been fighting for their lives for 500 million years and today are under dire threat. They are the longest-surviving vertebrate on Earth, outlasting multiple mass extinction events that decimated life on the planet. But how did they thrive for so long? By developing superpower-like abilities that allowed them to ascend to the top of the oceanic food chain. John Long, who for decades has been on the cutting edge of shark research, weaves a thrilling story of sharks' unparalleled reign. The Secret History of Sharks showcases the global search to discover sharks' largely unknown evolution, led by Long and dozens of other extraordinary scientists. As the tale unfolds, Long introduces an enormous range of astonishing organisms: a thirty-foot-long shark with a deadly saw blade of jagged teeth protruding from its lower jaws and bizarre sharks fossilized while in their mating ritual. With insights into the threats to sharks today, how they contribute to medical advances, and the lessons they can teach us about our own survival, The Secret History of Sharks is a riveting look at scientific discovery with ramifications far beyond the ocean . 'This book is the work of a master scientist and storyteller. It will make you see sharks in a new way: not as blood-thirsty monsters that we should fear, but as nature's ultimate survivors' - Steve Brusatte, New York Times bestselling author of The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs 'Readers will want to sink their teeth into this' - Publishers Weekly 'Thoroughly researched and wonderfully narrated, The Secret History of Sharks makes a convincing case that the story of sharks is nothing less than the story of life on Earth. Highly recommended!' - Nate Blakeslee, New York Times bestselling author of American Wolf

What can I do to help students who are struggling academically and personally? Andrew Sharos has heard this question many times in his career. And while we cannot always change where students start, we can certainly affect where they finish. Working with struggling students specifically provides the most satisfying success stories in teaching. This is an unending challenge that is never really complete. Every one of our students has faced adversity at some point in their academic careers, and we must recognize the different challenges they face in order to help them advance. Our struggling students need us, and hopefully by reading this book, you will feel less alone in this challenge. And unlike Sharos's previous book, this one will make little mention of test scores. While celebrating a measurable data point can validate our work as educators, helping students who struggle is a larger calling for all of us. It's as a colleague, a peer, and, most importantly, a fellow parent that Sharos aims to share methods to help all of us dig deeper and lean into the struggle, with the ultimate goal of making a difference. We all have students who struggle, and we will continue to have students who struggle. This book will support your desire to be part of the solution. You are capable of changing the academic and personal trajectory of your students who struggle the most, and Kids Can will show you how. Endorsements Andrew's pulse on the educational landscape results in a message that is timely and spot-on for teachers needing insight into how to move forward in supporting their students. His practical advice and strategies in Kids Can can be implemented by any teacher who has a desire to see their students succeed. -Michelle Swain, director of gifted and advanced academic services, Round Rock ISD, TX Andrew Sharos has significantly influenced our approach by championing the belief that "all kids can" succeed when given the right support and encouragement. His guidance has been pivotal in implementing our "AP for All" program, empowering students who might never have considered AP courses to embrace these opportunities and thrive. -Christina Smith, statistics teacher and AP advisor, Kingsway Regional High School, NJ
