Dispersal Of Shells

“The Dispersal of Shells” by Alfred Russel Wallace, originally published in 1893, explores the fascinating world of mollusks and their distribution across the globe. Wallace, a contemporary of Charles Darwin and a key figure in the development of evolutionary theory, brings his keen observational skills and scientific insight to this study of shells.

This book delves into the various mechanisms by which shells are dispersed, examining the roles of ocean currents, winds, and even animal transport. Wallace's meticulous research provides a detailed account of the habitats, geographical distribution, and unique adaptations of various shell species. A valuable resource for naturalists, zoologists, and anyone with an interest in the wonders of the natural world.
