SHELLS (FIVE CONTINENTS) (HB)

Paul Starosta’s spectacular photographs take the reader on a journey through an astounding collection of shells, first begun 50 years ago. These marvels of nature suggest exotic or futuristic architecture, ancient and Art Nouveau vases, even precious stones and volcanic rocks, and reaffirm how nature far surpasses human imagination and invention. At the end of the book, small photographs are accompanied by scientific information on shells, their life, characteristics and different families.
