Mollusks have been important to humans since our earliest days. Initially, when humans were primarily interested in what they could eat or use, mollusks were important as food, ornaments, and materials for tools. Over the centuries, as human knowledge branched out and individuals started to study the world around them, mollusks were important subjects for learning how things worked. In this volume, the editors and contributors have brought together a broad range of topics within the field of malacology. It is our expectation that these topics will be of interest and use to amateur and professional malacologists. Review: Something for everyone. - This is not a backpack book! The many chapters and articles in those chapters assure a telephone book of no-nonsense information. Even those areas I usually skipped in other books had some tidbits that started the process of digging in. This book is one I'll grow with! Well within range of a broad spectrum of collectors price wise. Big names and great graphics make it a deal. Review: Book on Molluscs - One of the few affordable books I've seen that includes land molluscs. Thank you for the speedy service.

The Mollusks: A Guide to Their Study, Collection and Preservation
As an established conchologist, I go to as many lectures as possible in the field of malachology. So far I have 11 lectures under my belt. So the next step is a textbook. This book has all of the basics and a lot of very technical terminology which baffles college graduates. However, it is an excellent resource for beginner to expert in malacology. It describes techniques and what tools and materials are needed to collect and study mollusks. It tells in great detail how to preserve the specimens for study or display. I feel it is a very beneficial book.
