Reading material on sharks

[Panzer70]

Can anyone recommend any books or periodicals on sharks?
What I would like to find is something that lists them by name (both common name ie tiger shark, great white, etc... and by their sciencitific name).
Thanks
Tom

The best online resource is the ever-growing FISHBASE, mecca to ichthyologists and the bane of students.
