Shells

As the world becomes more uncertain and life more stressful, getting outside and connecting with nature is an easy and affordable way to boost our mental and physical health. 

In Shells, trained biologist and wellness writer Susan E. Clark introduces the curious reader to this wonderful world. In the first part of the book, you will learn fascinating facts about shells and the creatures that leave them behind – from their classifications and history to iridescence and mythology. The second part features 30 different shell types, each with a beautifully detailed illustration to help identify them. 

There are countless opportunities to experience nature right on our doorstep, and Shells will encourage you to do just that.
