I was swept away by the world of molluscs and found myself fascinated and informed. . . .

Synopsis
From 'one of the master naturalists of our time' ( American Scientist ), a fascinating exploration of what seashells reveal about biology, evolution, and the history of life. Geerat Vermeij wrote this celebration of shells to share his enthusiasm for these supremely elegant creations and what they can teach us about nature. Most popular books on shells emphasise the identification of species, but Vermeij uses shells as a way to explore major ideas in biology. How are shells built? How do they work? And how did they evolve? With lucidity and charm, the MacArthur-winning evolutionary biologist reveals how shells give us insights into the lives of animals today and in the distant geological past.
