Synopsis

This invaluable reference work provides a unique synthesis of the major fields of palaeobiology. Published in collaboration with the Palaeontological Association, the book has drawn on a distinguished international team of authors to provide an authoritative and up–to–date sourcebook for the modern science of palaeobiology. All the main concepts are clearly discussed and well–illustrated with an approach quite distinct from that of previous books on the subject. The book demonstrates how palaeontological and palaeobiological studies are at the heart of a host of scientific themes ranging from evolutionary biology, plate tectonics, to a direct use in the search for oil. Over 120 concise and authoritative articles provide reviews of major topics of importance in this field. This volume is not intended as a systematic treatment of the various groups of fossil organisms – this is covered in other books. This major work will, however, prove invaluable as a sourcebook to the subject for researchers and students alike
