About this book

A comprehensive, one-term paleontology text, this book gives a unified approach to animal, plant, and invertebrate history and interaction. The emphasis is on how life evolved and shows how paleontology reveals earth history. It presents an integrated picture of paleontology, rather than detailed classification schemes.
