Using a series of case studies, the book demonstrates the power of
dynamic analysis as applied to the fossil record. Written in an
engaging and informative style, Dynamic Paleontology outlines the
best application of quantitative and other tools to critical
problems in the paleontological sciences including such topics as
analysis of the Cambrian Explosion and the question regarding the
presence of life on Mars. The book considers how we think about
certain types questions and shows how we can refine our approach to
analysis right from the beginning of any particular research
effort. The analytical tools presented here will have wide
application to other fields of knowledge; as such the book
represents a major contribution to our deployment of modern
scientific method.
