Official synopsis Publisher
Palaeobiology: A Synthesis was widely acclaimed both for its content and production quality.
Ten years on, Derek Briggs and Peter Crowther have once again brought together over 150 leading authorities from around the world to produce Palaeobiology II. Using the same successful formula, the content is arranged as a series of concise articles, taking a thematic approach to the subject, rather than treating the various fossil groups systematically.
This entirely new book, with its diversity of new topics and over 100 new contributors, reflects the exciting developments in the field, including accounts of spectacular newly discovered fossils, and embraces data from other disciplines such as astrobiology, geochemistry and genetics.
Palaeobiology II will be an invaluable resource, not only for palaeontologists, but also for students and researchers in other branches of the earth and life sciences.
- Written by an international team of recognised authorities in the field.
- Content is concise but informative.
- Demonstrates how palaeobiological studies are at the heart of a range of scientific themes.
