Shell Book

Discover the amazing world of shelled animals — their evolution, variety and habitats.

Here is an original and exciting new look at the amazing world of shells. Stunning real-life photographs of both living animals and their empty shells offer a unique "eyewitness" view of these complex and often beautiful creatures — what they eat, where they live and how they protect themselves.

Photographs and text examine different types of shells, including seashells, eggshells, and fossil shells, focusing on such aspects as how shells camouflage themselves and how they may be collected.
