Book Reviews of Evolutionary Paleobiology
Book Review: Fine Paleobiological Research in honor of Valentine
Summary: 5 Stars
"Evolutionary Paleobiology" is an elegant overview of the major themes of paleobiological research in the mid-1990's; one which continues to the present. It contains excellent papers from the most prominent researchers in the field, encompassing not only paleobiological aspects but also neontological - especially molecular biology - approaches to studying evolutionary paleobiology. This is a scientific celebration of the career of distinguished paleobiologist James W. Valentine, whom many would regard as the father of evolutionary paleobiology; each paper covers some aspect of his ecumenical approach to paleobiological research, ranging from molecular biology to field and taxonomic studies. Admittedly, this is one volume that is aimed primarily for students of paleobiology, and, in general, evolutionary biology, but it also should be of interest to historians of science.
