' ... a scholarly account of horse evolution, bringing fossil horses back to life with his vivid analysis of the evidence and setting it all in the context of current ideas in palaeobiology ... will surely stand as a worthy successor to the late George Gaylord Simpson's famous book Horses, ...' Times Higher Education Supplement 'A timely and readable text, a good advertisement for the biological fruits that the palaeontological tree can bear.' Nature 'Fossil Horses is excellent, giving a clear description of the known and complicated facts, plus a deep and satisfying discussion of the philosophical issues - orthogenesis, punctuated equilibrium, the role of variance (splitting of habitats) in the creation of new species, and so on. If evolution interests you or if you are a biologist with a penchant for horses, then this is the one to buy.' New Scientist
