Life in a Shell: A Physiologist’s View of a Turtle
Donald C. Jackson
Helps to discover how the turtle's proverbial slowness helps it survive a long, cold winter under ice. In this title, the author offers insight into what exactly it's like to live inside a shell - to carry the heavy carapace on land and in water, to breathe without an expandable ribcage, to have sex with all that body armor intervening.
