There are many books on palaeontology, aimed at amateurs,
undergraduates and aspiring academics. Perhaps commonest amongst
these are guides to fossil identification, from the general (basic
texts on fossil variety and morphology) to the specific (field
guides to specific groups, localities or horizons). Many of these
are readable, comprehensive and provide good advice. This is not
such a book - there is more to the subject than just putting a name
on a specimen, however important that may be. As the book's title
states, this is a practical manual covering the many aspects of
palaeontology. It is organised in fifty-three chapters; each
chapter focusses on one aspect of palaeontology as viewed with a
geologist's trained eye. It can be read from cover-to-cover or
dipped into when an answer to a specific question is needed. The
aim is to help the developing palaeontologist move their skills on
to the next level. It is aimed, primarily, at the beginner in the
broadest sense, both amateur and undergraduate. Palaeontologists
and geologists are encouraged to use the book as much as a
reference as a reader, dipping in to the chapters that contain
relevant tips, hints and comments to enable them to improve their
understanding of their current interest. It is informative,
readable and, most of all, of practical application for all
palaeontologists.
