241 pages~4 hr 48 min read25 chapters$4.99
A lobster is a crustacean laid bare, and W. T. Calman uses it to open a whole class of life. From the lobster as type to the strange metamorphoses of shrimp and crab larvae, he tours the crustacea of seashore and deep. Clear, expert, and full of the marvel of jointed shells. A fine introduction to the armored inhabitants of the sea.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
