The Shell Seeker

Seashells are uniquely appealing; from beachcombing adults to children exploring rockpools, everyone can appreciate the natural beauty they embody. From the vast Australian trumpet shell to the exquisitely tiny Ammonicera minortalis, and with colours ranging from dazzling blue to palest pink, shells are one of the most beautiful and varied aspects of our natural world. The Shell Seeker is a unique way of discovering these enticing forms. With an entrancing volvelle set into the cover, the book introduces a wonderful selection of shells from all seven continents. Juli Berwald reveals the remarkable and sometimes surprising features of shells, including bioluminescence, camouflage, gigantism and more. Taking a new spin on this perennially popular subject, The Shell Seeker is the perfect gift for beachcombers and seasoned conchologists alike.
