Editorial Reviews:
|
Artist Josie Iselin celebrates the diversity and beauty of nature with her exquisite portraits of seashells. Like her extremely popular Beach Stones and Leaves & Pods, Seashells is not a field guide but an artful and informative portrayal of a beloved part of our natural world. The book balances the exotic with the familiar, from tropical corals and rare fossils to everyday clamshells and barnacles. In her introduction and captions, marine geologist and paleontologist Sandy Carlson introduces the reader to seashells in all their variety, explaining why they look as they do. Both an art book and a contemplation of nature, Seashells combines aesthetic delight in natural things with scientific fact and philosophical wonder.

Summary: A love of seashells and the beach
Comment: Another wonderful gift from my daughter and family for a recent birthday!
The photos, description, geographic location and history of these varieties of shells are beautiful. It is a book you will keep out for all to feast their eyes on all summer and reluctantly retire to the bookshelf come fall. Retire, you must, as when summer comes again, you can embrace this extraordinary treat.

Summary: Nature's art
Comment: Who doesn't like a day at the beach collecting seashells. Only nature can create such beauty. This book would go great with "Beach Lover's Guide to the Perfect Sandwich" This book contains great sandwiches to eat at the beach and at beach parties. You can use the shells you collect to decorate your table of sandwiches.
