Living Mollusks

Charles E. Rawlings

4.9/5 (33884 ratings)

Description:In his internationally acclaimed, award-winning book, Living Shells, Dr. Rawlings introduced his readers to the amazing world of living seashells. In Living Mollusks, Dr. Rawlings, once again, propels the reader into the fascinating world of the living seashell and even beyond. Everyone knows what a mollusk is, what a seashell is…or do they? Most people know mollusks either as some slimy, slug-like creature, or as a menu delicacy such as clams or oysters. Most people know what a seashell is based upon their experience as a child collecting shells on the beach. These shells, however, are but pale remnants, ghostly reminders of the grandeur that the living animals possess. In fact, some of the most beautiful, most fascinating mollusks, leave no shell, no trace, no remnant of their existence to be found by an early-morning beachcomber. They are ethereal creatures, they leave no trace of their lives for us. Few, if any people, realize that the phylum Mollusca is the largest marine phylum, containing over 20% of all named marine organisms. Mollusks include the most neurologically advanced of all invertebrates, one of the most dangerous creatures in the sea, and the largest known invertebrate species, the giant squid. Mollusks are highly diverse with extreme variations not only in size and structure but also in range of habitats and behavior. Mollusks inhabit high altitude freshwater lakes as well as the polar abyssal plains. Some have eyes as complex as humans’. When you see them, they see you. In Living Mollusks, Dr. Rawlings sheds light upon the incredible realm of the Mollusks through his photos of different, unusual species. His book explores the Mollusks gastropods to nudibranchs. In doing so, he presents multiple images of never-before-photographed species. His images range from the sublime beauty of the Nembotha to the brutal cannibalism of the Humboldt Squid. Dr. Rawlings sincerely hopes that his readers are as mesmerized as he is with the grandeur that are the Mollusks.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
