A compelling history of seashells and the animals that make them, revealing what they have to tell us about nature, our changing oceans, and ourselves.Seashells have been the most coveted and collected of nature’s creations since the dawn of humanity. They were money before coins, jewelry before gems, art before canvas.In The Sound of the Sea, acclaimed environmental author Cynthia Barnett blends cultural history and science to trace our long love affair with seashells and the hidden lives of the mollusks that make them. Spiraling out from the great cities of shell that once rose in North America to the warming waters of the Maldives and the slave castles of Ghana, Barnett has created an unforgettable account of the world’s most iconic seashells. She begins with their childhood wonder, unwinds surprising histories like the origin of Shell Oil as a family business importing exotic shells, and charts what shells and the soft animals that build them are telling scientists about our warming, acidifying seas.From the eerie calls of early shell trumpets to the evolutionary miracle of spines and spires and the modern science of carbon capture inspired by shell, Barnett circles to her central point of listening to nature’s wisdom—and acting on what seashells have to say about taking care of each other and our world.

I bought this book when I found out Cynthia was coming to speak at our local Indy bookstore to discuss her new book. She writes about seashells, their history, the animals that make them, and what they have to tell us about the oceans, climate change, and even about ourselves. Her gentle approach to the delicate balance of the oceans, the creatures that live there, and the caution we need take when taking advantage of their offerings.Someone asked whether we should collect seashells, because they are in short supply (and also needed by frequent home flippers, hermit crabs). Cynthia’s opinion is that every child needs the experience of finding and cherishing a seashell, as do adults. But one shell enough. She spoke of the beauty of a special shell on a mantle, shelf, or windowsill. And how much more you appreciate seeing one beautiful treasure than dozens of them cluttering the same space. One is lovely to behold and so is the thought of leaving the rest of the shells for others to find.Her approach is practical yet fact filled, interestingly presented and takes her readers to some fascinating beautiful places where she conducts interviews with interesting people.Every chapter is named for a creature with a shell. She celebrates them all, and the simplicity of appreciating one and then the other.
