From the Publisher:
Over the last 200 years, the discovery of fossils has revolutionized our understanding of evolution and the story of Earth. Fossils—the remains of once–living organisms, from seashells to dinosaur bones—have intrigued us for thousands of years. Fossil Revolution is the story of the discoveries that have unlocked the secrets of the past and the now–extinct species that once dominated the earth. Taking the reader on an archaeological expedition through time, this outstanding study reveals how man has come to understand his precarious position in a fragile and unpredictable world. Douglas Palmer is a lecturer in Natural Science at Cambridge University.
About the Author:
Douglas Palmer is a freelance science writer who has contributed to a number of atlases and encyclopaedia on prehistoric life and fossils. He teaches for the Cambridge University Natural Science Tripos and the International Summer School. A former Earth Sciences lecturer at Trinity College, Dublin, he also spent two years as an exhibition co-ordinator at the National Museum of Wales.
