About this book

Gathering seashells is one of the delights of a beach trip; everyone knows the feeling of spotting something beautiful among a seemingly infinite array of colours and shapes dotting the shoreline. Generations have trusted Hugh Porter's Seashells of North Carolina to help identify favourite shells. This revised and expanded edition from the experts at the North Carolina Sea Grant is the perfect beach companion for shell-seekers of all sorts.

What's included:
- Hundreds of black-and-white and colour photos detailing 275 species
- Step-by-step instructions for shell identification
- Indexes of scientific and common names with updated scientific nomenclature
- Approachable introductions to the biology and geographical range of animals that call shells home

After you read the updated Seashells of North Carolina, a walk down the beach won't ever be the same.
