Long Synopsis:
They have done time as jewelry and tools, as medicines, currency, and symbols
of industry--and they have intrigued people, from beach-combing toddlers to
serious scientists, since time began. Native interest meets natural history in
this exquisitely illustrated account of the science and culture of seashells.
With closeup photography and basic explanations of different shell
types--univalves, bivalves, and cephalopods--how they are formed, what mollusks
inhabit them, their morphology and life cycles, and much more, this is the book
for anyone with an interest in seashells. This book includes information on the
bewildering array of shell shapes, colors, sizes, and types, and describes
where the different shells can be found throughout the world. As informative as
it is visually arresting, the book will appeal to amateur and expert, collector
and casual beachcomber.
