Palaeobiology IIPalaeobiology: A Synthesis was widely acclaimed both for itscontent and production quality. Ten years on, Derek Briggs andPeter Crowther have once again brought together over 150 leadingauthorities from around the world to produce Palaeobiology II.Using the same successful formula, the content is arranged as aseries of concise articles, taking a thematic approach to thesubject, rather than treating the various fossil groupssystematically. This entirely new book, with its diversity of new topics andover 100 new contributors, reflects the exciting developments inthe field, including accounts of spectacular newly discoveredfossils, and embraces data from other disciplines such asastrobiology, geochemistry and genetics. Palaeobiology II will be an invaluable resource, not onlyfor palaeontologists, but also for students and researchers inother branches of the earth and life sciences.
