PALEO EARTH

What the Fossil Record tells us about Life through Time

Now more than ever we need to look at the history of life on Earth and beyond to understand our future.

Many paleontology books are on the market, but it’s becoming increasingly important to link the fossil record with the conditions under which ancient organisms lived. Life, as well as extinctions, can be tied to volcanic eruptions, asteroid impacts, and even environmental events.

Our approach to this new volume is to provide students with this perspective while introducing them to concepts in paleontology and the tools that paleontologists use to unravel the history of the Earth and other planets.
