Life in a shell

de Donald C. Jackson

Trundling along in essentially the same form for some 220 million years, turtles have seen dinosaurs come and go, mammals emerge, and humankind expand its dominion. Is it any wonder the persistent reptile bested the hare? In this book the author shares a lifetime of observation of this curious creature, allowing us to look under the shell of an animal at once so familiar and so strange.
