Mollusks: A Guide to Their Study, Collection, and Preservation

edited by: C. F. Sturm, T. A. Pearce, and A. Valdés.

The volume includes chapters on collecting and cleaning shells, archival methods, digital and film imaging, dredging, and cladistics and molecular techniques. There are chapters covering all 7 extant classes of mollusks (yes even the Aplacophora and Monoplacophora) as well as fossil mollusks. These are only a few of the 31 chapters.

Revenue from the book will help defray the costs of the scientific program, student scholarships and grants. The AMS earns more if the book is ordered from the publisher than through commercial ventures such as Amazon.com or Barne&Nobles.com. Thus, we would encourage ordering directly from the publisher online at Universal Publishers.

The cost of the book is $35.95.

The book can also be purchased by mail order form here.
