Bringing Fossils To Life: An Introduction To Paleobiology (Paperback)

by Donald R. Prothero

This is the first text to combine both paleontology and paleobiology. Traditional textbooks treat these separately,

despite the recent trend to combine them in teaching. It bridges the gap between purely theoretical paleobiology

and purely descriptive invertebrate paleontology books. The text is targeted at undergraduate geology and biology

majors, with the emphasis on organisms, rather than dead objects to be described and catalogued. Current ideas

from modern biology, ecology, population genetics, and many other concepts will be applied to the study of the

fossil record.
