Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed study of the terrestrial and freshwater Pulmonata, or 'air-breathing snails'. The introductory volume provides broad coverage of pulmonate anatomy, reproduction, ecology and classification. Volume two focuses on habitats and distribution of different species of land snails, grouped by family and including numerous illustrations of the shells, while volume three focuses on the Basommatophora and describes the different species using detailed drawings and extensive descriptive text. The author's observations on the differences between the various snail species in terms of their habitats, preferred terrain, and even eating habits have greatly expanded our understanding of their life processes and reproductive strategies. These three volumes are a valuable resource for malacologists of all kinds and are essential reading for anyone interested in the intriguing lives of these creatures.
