Giant Clams in the Sea and the Aquarium

[mbbuna]

Ok i just got my copy of this book yesterday. i did the usual "drool at the pics and read the captions" first, then i got to reading. only up to chapter 3 so far, but its clear James did his homework:thumbsup: . just in the first 2 chapters there are many many references to back up James' claims and he repeatedly encourages you to go to these references to learn more. and if you have any questions about how clams feed ,what they eat, do they filter feed, can they get by with out filter feeding and the big one "do you need to feed small clams" (NO HE DIDN'T ) you wont have these questions after chapter 2.

that's it for now, now i need to go forget some things to make room for the rest of the book

it is a great book
tons of information
as deep as you could want

ok...by scanning i meant the pictures of the clam. even then, if my three smily faces don't imply it, it was meant in good humor, as in a joke. my apologies to the author who has put all his hard work in which i'm sure is an excellent read.

I take it someone actually took that seriously?!

i finished up the book a few weeks ago, just keep forgetting to finish my review.

ok ill cut to the chase. im giving it 5 out of 5 clam shells

James didn't leave any stone unturned. great info all the way through.

i thought i knew how Croceas and Maximas bored into the rock, but i only knew half of it.
