But some are extremely rare and valuable, like the beautiful Gloria-maris ('Glory of the sea') of which there are only twenty-five known specimens in the world; and the Cypraea leucidon, of which there are only two. Between these limits lie more than 60,000 species of shells. From classical antiquity onwards, the shell or mollusc has been regarded as one of the most amazing achievements of nature, and has frequently been imitated in works-of-art. Its ornamentation aspires to an astonishing variety of pattern and intricacy of design which are beyond scientific explanation. In this book Roderick Cameron has brought together some of the most splendid and interesting examples from all over the world. *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available.. (more information)

Chequered because their very design left them open to abuse, and consequently they often fell foul of gambling laws in various American states. Although the era of the slot machine began in the last quarter of the 19th century, according to legend the founding father of vending and slot machines was the Greek scientist Hero, who invented a device for selling 'holy water'. Slot machine manufacturers were hard hit by the Depression in the 1930s, although most managed to keep their heads above water by producing cheaper machines and getting around the gambling laws. This book shows some of the many models and variations that were produced during this time. Packed with interesting information and details of many of the most famous slot machines, accompanied by a wealth of colour photographs, this book pays homage to the old one-armed bandits - a Hall of Fame for all those classic and beautifully designed machines of yesteryear.***** *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available. *.*.*.*.* Edited By: Petra Raszkowski.

Intend as both a visual delight and a valuable "how to" information source, this book covers the full range of terrarium experience, from the simplest kind of converted cookie jar terrarium to the more complex "scenariums" and bottle gardens. Terrariums provide a foolproof way to grow delicate, moisture-loving plants in your home. Now, plants which were once only in the possession of greenhouse owners will flourish within the glass walls of your terrarium. Orchids, filmy ferns, bromeliads and jungle wildflowers will grow in your terrarium as easily as they do in their native soil. Here, in more than 85 full-color photographs taken especially for this book, the beauty of these miniature worlds is presented as never before. Every flower, every plant can be seen in its full, natural glory. For the novice, the "how to's" of terrarium basics are set forth in easy-to-follow instructions by the author. Here you will learn how to plant a bottle garden, how to create an original terrarium, and how to make a home-built terrarium/aquarium. The more advanced terrarium practitioner will appreciate the discussion of flowering plants for the terrarium where he will lean how to grow orchids and bromeliads in his terrarium. *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available. *.*.*.*.* Edited By: Tom F.
