Bringing fossils to life: an introduction to paleobiology
Prothero, Donald R.
Bringing fossils to life: an introduction to paleobiology - 3rd ed. - New York: Columbia University Press, 2013. - xiii, 671p.: ill.; pbk.: 28 cm.
Includes Glossary, Bibliography, and Index.
One of the leading textbooks in its field, Bringing Fossils to Life applies paleobiological principles to the fossil record while detailing the evolutionary history of major plant and animal phyla. It incorporates current research from biology, ecology, and population genetics, bridging the gap between purely theoretical paleobiological textbooks and those that describe only invertebrate paleobiology and that emphasize cataloguing live organisms instead of dead objects. For this third edition Donald R. Prothero has revised the art and research throughout, expanding the coverage of invertebrates and adding a discussion of new methodologies and a chapter on the origin and early evolution of life.
