Description:

2nd revised and expanded edition. Gathering seashells is one of the delights of a beach trip; everyone knows the feeling of spotting something beautiful among a seemingly infinite array of colours and shapes dotting the shoreline. Generations have trusted Hugh Porter’s Seashells of North Carolina to help identify favorite shells. This revised and expanded edition from the experts at the North Carolina Sea Grant is the perfect beach companion for shell-seekers of all sorts. What’s included:

* Detailed descriptions of 275 species with accompanying black-and-white and colour photos

* Step-by-step instructions for shell identification

* Approachable introductions to the biology and geographical range of animals that call shells home

* Index of scientific and common names with updated scientific nomenclature

After you read the updated Seashells of North Carolina, a walk down the beach won’t ever be the same.
