Omschrijving

A sumptuously illustrated guide to marine mollusks from around the world

The mollusks are the largest group of animals on the planet after the insects. Throughout history, their shells have inspired scientists, artists, and collectors with their amazing shapes, colors, and patterns. Seashells is a marvelous single-volume reference to some five thousand species, presenting shells found from sandy beaches and coral reefs to polar shores and the ocean depths. The comprehensive introduction gives an overview of the mollusks, a review of collecting and storage techniques, and a guide to classification and naming. Up-to-date names and distribution information accompany more than 5,400 original high-resolution images, arranged in the latest systematic sequence and reviewed for accuracy by an international board of leading specialists. Ideal for beginners and professionals alike, this is the ultimate book of seashells, from collectors' favorites like the Cones and Cowries to the bizarre worm snails and the enigmatic Nautiluses.
