Product Description
Originally published in 1993, this second edition of a successful textbook describes and explains in a refreshingly clear way the origin and evolution of plants as revealed by the fossil record and summarises paleobotanical information relevant to our understanding of the relationships between the major plant groups, extant and extinct. As in the first edition, the text is profusely illustrated with line illustrations and half-tones. For those students with little knowledge of plant structure and morphology there is a brief resumé of those features of extant plants that will be needed to gain a better understanding of the fossil record. Summarising charts are also used to help students visualise the interpretative material.

Excellent Textbook
19 Aug 2006
Format:Hardcover
I purchased a copy of this book a couple years ago. Preparing to use it for reference in fossils studies. Surprised there's no reviews on Amazon. Lucky me, the first reviewer. This book is filled with helpful (scientifically-accurate) illustrations and indepth on... Paleobotany. Thanks.
