Nature has created an almost infinite variety of life in the sea, and seashells are the prize of this vast environment. Shells reveals the striking patterns and forms that make shells a work of art in their own right, from the extraordinary architectural detail of the chambered nautilus to the varied hues of the senatorial scallop. Moreover, shells have had a significant influence on many facets of society. Through lively and informative text and more than 300 striking photographs presented in an oversized format, Shells depicts Iroquois money belts made from the shell of the quahog; a cowrie headdress used by a Mali witch doctor; and the scallop shell motif in art and architecture. Also featured are rare photographs of the fascinating creatures that live within shells; current data on collecting practices and trends; and a discussion of environmental issues around collection and conservation.
