Bringing Fossils to Life: An Introduction to Paleobiology, 3rd Edition: summary, description and annotation

The leading textbook in its field, this work applies paleobiological principles to the fossil record while detailing the evolutionary history of major plant and animal phyla. It incorporates current research from biology, ecology, and population genetics. Written for biology and geology undergrads, the text bridges the gap between purely theoretical paleobiology and solely descriptive invertebrate paleobiology books, emphasizing the cataloguing of live organisms over dead objects. This third edition revises art and research throughout, expands the coverage of invertebrates, includes a discussion of new methodologies, and adds a chapter on the origin and early evolution of life.

Editorial, Nature, 1969

History per se has had a bit of bad press recentlyThere is a tension between the documentation of history (famously referred to as one bloody thing after another), and the search for universal principles that are ahistoric and possibly timeless. After a period in the doldrums, the bearers of the historical tidings, the paleontologists, are making tentative movements toward the legendary High Table where, just visible through the clouds of incense (and rhetoric), the high priests of evolutionary theory smile benignly
