Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press, 2010. Hardcover. VG (scuffs, scratches to boards. spine ends crinkled. inscription & doodle to front end paper.). glossy green & orange pictorial boards w/ white printing. decorative endpapers and pastedowns. 655 pgs w/ color illustrations. The Book of Shells offers a visually stunning and scientifically engaging guide to six hundred of the most intriguing mollusk shells, each chosen to convey the range of shapes and sizes that occur across a range of species. Each shell is reproduced here at its actual size, in full color, and is accompanied by an explanation of the shell's range, distribution, abundance, habitat, and operculum—the piece that protects the mollusk when it's in the shell. Brief scientific and historical accounts of each shell and related species include fun-filled facts and anecdotes that broaden its portrait.--Publisher.
