Spirals in Time: The Secret Life and Curious Afterlife of Seashells by Helen Scales

4.0

An interesting look at shells and the creatures who make them. I found myself googling images of the animals she describes, curious what a Magician's Cone Snail or argonaut looks like, though there are glossy pictures in the book of some of the animals I wanted to see all of them. Parts of the book drag slightly when it gets more scientific but for the most part the book is entertaining. She clearly is passionate and knowledgeable about the subject, and that translates well.
