Book excerpt: Echoing with the sounds of the sea, an exquisite survey of the science and customs of conchs, clams, coquinas, cowries, and much more. Shells have captivated humans from the dawn of time: the earliest known artwork was made on a shell. As well as containers for food, shells have been used as tools, jewelry, decorations for dwellings, and to bring good luck or to ward off spirits. Many Indigenous peoples have used shells as currency, and in a few places, they still do. This beautifully illustrated book investigates the fascinating scientific and cultural history of shells. It examines everything from pearls—the only gems of animal origin—to how shells’ diverse colors and shapes are formed. And it reveals how shells have inspired artists throughout history, how shells have been used in architecture, and even how shells can be indicators of changing environmental conditions. Also including two essays by shell expert M. G. Harasewych, emeritus curator of gastropods in the Smithsonian’s Department of Invertebrate Zoology, Shells is an authoritative exploration of the deep human connection to these molluscan exoskeletons of sea, lake, land, and stream.

Download or read book Sea Shells of the Texas Coast written by Jean Andrews and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most valuable portions of this work is the beautiful set of 369 mollusk photographs and the 65 line drawings that go with the text. One of the major problems in identifying Texas coastal sea shells has long been the lack of adequate illustrations. No single text can be used to identify all the shallow-water shells of Texas. The systematic portion of this book, however, does bring together all the information on coastal species, so that most amateur shell collectors will be able to identify their finds.

Book excerpt: This is a field guide to marine mollusks. Thisbook was created to fill, what is perceived to be, a void in the popular literature, namely an affordable reference guide to the sea shells found in the CalifornianMarine Molluscan Province. It is not intended as a comprehensive compendium ofthe shelled marine mollusks in the province, but rather is limited to those taxalikely to be encountered between the intertidal zone and depths ordinarilyaccessible by scuba diving. Some deeper water taxa are included because they areparticularly beautiful, well known or popular. Specifically excluded are thosespecies which we deemed to be micro shells, namely species where the average sizeis 7 mm or less; this necessarily excludes a great many families of marine mollusks.
