Book Reviews of Bringing Fossils To Life: An Introduction To Paleobiology
Book Review: The intro paleontology book your grandpappy wished for
Summary: 5 Stars
In the late Paleocene, when I took upper division paleontology, we used Clarkson's Invertebrate Paleontology and Evolution, which was very good. But in all honesty, it was a lovely grad student/lab instructor who made paleontology interesting and kept students motivated. Prothero does the same here with his words (rather than his figure!) since he's consulted over the years with those who matter most: his students.
I've read his EVOLUTION: WHY IT MATTERS and AFTER THE DINOSAURS and find Prothero's writing style easy to digest. He also packages chapters efficiently. I picked up an older and cheaper edition of this title and confirmed that his method is no fluke. If you can afford the price of the latest edition, it's probably worth it.
