Customer Reviews

Over one hundered years of the Chambered Nautilus

This book is less about Nautilus than it is about the people who have attempted to discover the little creatures' secrets. A wonderful book about scientists (rather than science), with all their mistakes and genius laid plainly to view. A highly recomended book.
