This book is reviewed in the March issue of American Conchologist (due out
next week I hope).  Simply put, it is an extraordinary book.  It is a
seminal publication that I hope will inspire future authors.  This book will
be the "bible" on Florida bivalves.  The really great news is the plans for
an additional two volumes in the future (gastropods and all the other
mollusks?).

Subject: [CONCH-L] new book on Southern Florida mollusks


Princeton University Press, sent out an announcement about a new book:

Seashells of Southern Florida:
Living Marine Mollusks of the Florida Keys and Adjacent Regions:
Bivalves
Paula M. Mikkelsen & Ruediger Bieler

"A tremendous resource for zoologists, ecologists, and any researchers
in tropical marine systems. This book describes and illustrates in
great detail the incredibly diverse bivalve mollusk fauna of the
Florida Keys. The lushness of the color illustrations and photographs
will encourage even reticent readers to delve deeper into the text.
This work is significant and important."--Paul Valentich-Scott,
coauthor of Bivalve Seashells of Western North America
