Alien Body Plans #2: Mollusks & Other Lophotrochozoans

ADD TO WISHLIST >

It's easy to make aliens: take a person or a dog, slap some antennae on 'em, maybe some ooze and some spooky talons, and then put some random letters together in a nigh-unpronounceable combination. 

As I said, it's easy to make aliens. What isn't easy is making them well

Even when you're working hard to be creative, it can sometimes be hard to get out of the rut of familiarity, to go beyond four limbs and two eyes and venture into the realm of, well, the alien. 

This series is about exploring the diversity of forms already lurking around us, breaking them down into short summaries so that you can use them as a jumping-off point for new forms of life and talking about some of the ways that they could be twisted around. By the time that you're done, nobody will guess that your original inspiration was a worm or a clam.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
