Fossils: The essential guide

Description:

The essential, illustrated guide to fossils and the history of life.

Explore the world of fossils and what they reveal about the history of life on Earth, from the emergence of new life forms to cataclysmic mass extinctions.

World-renowned palaeontologist Paul Taylor provides a comprehensive guide to all aspects of fossils, beginning with how they form, how they mark geological time, and what they tell us about the origins of life and major evolutionary events like the Cambrian Explosion.

Generously illustrated with colour photography, featuring many original specimens from the collections of London’s Natural History Museum,
Fossils is the essential introduction for all those who are curious about the very history of life.


Review

“[A] rich guide, exquisitely illustrated” Nature

"A key handbook providing a fascinating introduction to the world of ancient life... The images are a major draw for the book... As with other books I have seen from the Natural History Museum, the quality of reproduction is exceptionally high." Geoscientist

An essential for every new convert to one of the most rewarding hobbies you can have. It's a nice format, featuring plenty of colour photographs of all the major groups, both those you may well encounter and some you can just be in awe of. Paul Taylor writes from an abundance of experience, in clear language, telling the story of how Earth's long and fascinating history was uncovered. The best primer currently on the shelves.

Super nice book. Lots of good photos with the right amount of detail for people with a brain who aren't geologists. Kind of UK centric -- who knew Britain was the center of fossils of the entire universe? har har. Still, well worth your time and $$$.

Great Book!
