Marine shells of Goaa guide to identification /[electronic resource] :by Sangeeta M. Sonak. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2017. - xv, 249 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Molluscs and their shells -- Shell habitats of Goa -- Cataloguing of shells -- Shell art and shell craft of Goa -- Some interesting known and unknown facts about shells.

This book offers a unique introduction to the study of shells and molluscs for all those who take pleasure in shells, the treasure of the sea. However, unlike other shell albums, compendiums or guides, the central focus of this book is on shells and not molluscs. Therefore, in addition to the classification and identification of shells, the book also addresses aspects including the shell art and shell craft of Goa, the importance of shells, and literary works related to shells and their writers. The book also describes various shell habitats of Goa. The primary objective of this book is to introduce readers to the concept of shell heritage and to spark curiosity and scientific interest, not just among conchologists but also local and visiting beachgoers. Accordingly, it primarily uses straightforward, non-technical language. The book will also appeal to those readers without any previous knowledge of the subject, helping them to understand and appreciate the shells that they collect from the seashores of Goa.
