Synopsis
Using shells to explore major areas of biology, the author of this celebration of the shell examines such issues as the evolution of shells and their function. He demonstrates how shells provide insight into the lives of animals of this era, as well as those of the distant past., Geerat Vermeij wrote this 'celebration of shells' to share his enthusiasm for those supremely elegant creations and what they can teach us about nature. Most popular books on shells emphasize 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? How did they evolve? The author lucidly and charmingly demonstrates how shells give us insights into the lives of animals in our own day as well as in the distant geological past., 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 emphasize 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., Geerat Vermeij wrote this "celebration of shells" to share his enthusiasm for those supremely elegant creations and what they can teach us about nature.

    "squidboytoys" is a great seller! They had packaged and shipped the order within about 3 hours of receiving the order. The product was used and in excellent condition (exactly as described). The value of the product was excellent in that I received exactly what i wanted at a great price. To be honest, I have never ordered from Ebay before as I was worried about not having a good experience. "squidboytoys" is a great seller and I would order again from them! Thank you "squidboytoys" !

    2 books arrived as described, the third's pages unfortunately have completely fallen out from the spine of the book (as I learned upon opening the package). Seems possible the glue just degraded from age/storage location. That said for the price, the friendly communication (regarding shipping delays), and the secure packaging I'd say it was a solid purchase all around.
