Description

Compendium of Brazilian Shells
by Prof. E.C. Rios

2009, hardcover, laminated boards, 676 pages, color photos and black and white line drawings.

We do not carry this book and we do not intend to offer it because hard evidence shows that parts of this book have been plagiarized and some of this material has been altered. You can see this evidence for your self in the document that I have added to this review. This leads us to question the veracity of anything else that may appear in this book and has lead to our decision not to offer it for sale. It is a shame that the author of this book, which is the fourth book he has done on the shells of Brazil and will most probably be the last book that he will do, has had to resort to this intellectually dishonest means.

The book can be ordered from Brazil from Femorale.com postpaid for $190.00 and from this website you can also download an index for this book (there is no index provided in the book) that was prepared by the Coltros at femorale.
The following link from Colin Redfern, author of Bahamian Seashells concerning the material that Rios has used without permission from his book.
