Seashells of Eastern Arabia

Seashells of Eastern Arabia

By Various Contributors

The seashell fauna of this part of the world is amazingly diverse and includes many species which occur nowhere else. In Seashells of Eastern Arabia, it receives the treatment its unique qualities deserve. This well-illustrated book, the first to be devoted to seashells of Oman and the Arabian Gulf, is the work of a team and specialists well known for their many contributions to the study of mollusks and their shells.

Each of the contributing authors – Donald T Bosch, S Peter Dance, Robert G Moolenbeek and P Graham Oliver – has collected and studied mollusks of the region . More than a thousand species are described in non-technical language and illustrated by original colour photographs, scanning – electron-microscope images and line drawings.

Seashells of Eastern Arabia will be welcomed by amateur shell collector and scientific specialist alike as the one indispensable reference to help them identify the bewildering variety of seashells washed up on the beaches or retrieved from their many hiding places offshore.
