| Seashells of China
edited by Qi Zhongyan
published in 2004, China Ocean Press, hardcover with printed jacket, 418 pages, size 8.5 by 11.5 inches, (21.5 by 28 cm) inc 193 pages of full color plates
This is a very important book, that covers the shells
from Northern Pacific Sino-Japanese Region to the Southern Indo-Malayan
region of the world. It has more than 1850 color photographs. In all 1661 species are
described and illustrated in this book. I think that this book will be a very
welcome addition to the literature and it now fills in the gap in our
knowledge about the shells from the very large and important area of
the Chinese waters. |
