Stunning photographs make this guide to the seashells of Egypt's
Red Sea coast a delight for scientists and beachcombers alike.
Biologist Mary Lyn Rusmore-Villaume offers succinct descriptions of
over five hundred species, indicating geographic range, size,
color, and other details. The book is organized by taxonomy,
divided between gastropods and bivalves, and each species is
illustrated with one or more photographs for easy identification,
all taken especially for this book by the author using shells from
her own collection. All the shells most people are likely to see
are included here, as well as many rare specimens (including an
entirely new species discovered by the author). The species covered
come from all regions of Egypt bordering the Red Sea, including the
Gulf of Suez, South Sinai, the Gulf of Aqaba, and the mainland
coast from Hurghada to Shalatein. As the only guide to Egypt's Red
Sea shells, this is an invaluable reference for anyone interested
in the Red Sea and its rich biodiversity. Copiously illustrated and
comprehensive in its approach, "Seashells of the Egyptian Red Sea"
represents a unique contribution to the scientific knowledge of the
marine fauna of this branch of the Indo-Pacific region.
