Amber (Paperback)

by Andrew Ross

Amber has captured the human imagination for centuries, as amulets, ritual cups, and beads

dating back 10,000 years attest. It is a fascinating substance, one that offers a unique intersection

of the fields of paleontology, botany, entomology, and mineralogy. Unique to this book are identi-

fication keys to the most common insect inclusions as well as practical advice on how to identify

all-too-common fakes. Amber will bring the study of this and its inclusions within reach of anyone

with access to amber and a good magnifying glass.
