Not as exciting as it sounds.......
Stuttgart Natural History picked up on one of my shots from flickr and asked to use it in a book that accompanies their current exhibition on Sex.
It was a shot I'd put on the "old" forum -
- shows a pile of Slipper Limpets living on the sea-shore in South Wales. The sex interest comes from the way they change sex as they grow older and move down the pile as younger ones join. Not very politically correct, because the males are always on top.... It's Latin name is Crepidula fornicata, which I suppose says it all.The Stuttgart Sex exhibition is fully titled "Sex - the Motor of Evolution" and it's very biological....
They kindly sent me a copy of the book - looks good, but I can't understand much... German is beyond me.
Surprisingly this is the second time this shot has been picked up this way for publication - previously it was used in quite an academic treatise on the role of Molluscs in ancient human societies....
Cheers, Chris.
