The Mollusks

A Guide to Their Study, Collection, and Preservation

by C. F. Sturm, T. A. Pearce, and A. Valdes (eds.)

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.

It is our expectation that these topics will be of interest and use to amateur and professional malacologists.
