"This introduction to the world of paleontology has been completely revised and updated, reflecting changes in the ways that fossils are viewed and interpreted. Using the fluid writing style that made Trilobite! Eyewitness to Evolution such a success, Richard Fortey brings the study of fossils into the twenty-first century."--BOOK JACKET.
