Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This new edition of a successful textbook describes and explains in a refreshingly clear way the origin and evolution of plants as revealed by the fossil record and summarises paleobotanical information relevant to our present understanding of the relationships between the major plant groups, extant and extinct. As in the first edition, the text is profusely illustrated with line illustrations and half-tones. For those students with little knowledge of plant structure and morphology there is a brief resuméof those features of extant plants that will be needed to gain a better understanding of the fossil record. Summarizing charts are also used to help students visualise the interpretative material. Review:"This textbook is well written and well researched. In all it is a pleasure to own." Nature"I recommend it as an excellent text and as a valuable reference work for those in related fields." American Scientist"I have seldom read a textbook with such enthusiasm and I shall recommend it to students and staff alike." The Scientist"...retains the good features of the first, and the authors' objectives to provide for senior and for graduate students are unchanged....this excellently produced book will be very valuable to students." Norman F. Hughes, Geology Magazine"...a thorough, comprehensive, and modern treatment, attractively produced, which will be widely used as a source text, especially by botanists who are not primarily paleobotanists....in view of the overall excellence of the work, [it] will surely attract a large audience...." R.M. Schuster, The Bryologist Synopsis:This new edition of a successful textbook describes and explains in a refreshingly clear way the origin and evolution of plants as revealed by the fossil record.
