Description
Paleontology: An Illustrated History
This comprehensive book explores the art and science of paleontology, tracing its development from ancient times to the present day. From the discovery of petrified remains to the use of cutting-edge technologies, David Bainbridge recounts the stories and people behind some of the greatest fossil finds in history.
With stunning illustrations ranging from early sketches to high-tech computer reconstructions, this book brings the field of paleontology to life. Bainbridge discusses how paleontology has straddled the spheres of science and art, and how recent advances promise to revolutionize our understanding of the origins and evolution of ancient life.
