Fossils: The Key to the Past is a comprehensive guide to the study
and meaning of fossils. This new paperback edition has been fully
revised and updated, reflecting advances in our understanding of
the fossil record and the significance of new fossil finds.
Palaeontologist Richard Fortey explains in accessible language what
fossils are, how they form and how to identify them, and how they
help us to understand Earth's geological past and the emergence of
life.Drawing on all the latest research, including molecular
palaeontology, he discusses evolution and extinction, the economic
uses of fossils, such as oil and coal, as well as offering
practical advice for making a fossil collection. Extensively
illustrated in full colour throughout, with photographs from the
collections at the Natural History Museum, Fossils: The Key to the
Past will appealto all those with an interest in the history of
life itself.
