Recenzje

`The book is well edited. Suitable cross-references highlight similarities and differences of viewpoint between the various authors...Well produced, with very good illustrations and three types of index...Palaeontologists should be acquainted with this book and it deserves to be in every geological departmental library.' Geological Magazine
