Book Description
Excerpt from A Catalogue of the Collection of Cambrian and Silurian Fossils: Contained in the Geological Museum of the University of Cambridge Since the proof-sheets of the following Catalogue issued from the press, I have earnestly desired to write an Introductory Preface to it. Week after week and month after month have I waited in anxious hope of completing my humble task. But I have been greatly interrupted by a chronic malady which makes me incapable of any long-continued mental labour; and, in addition to this hindrance, a painful infirmity of sight almost entirely prevents me from consulting my manuscripts and memoranda, made during the Geological tours of many past years. To spare this continued infirmity of sight I now gratefully dictate the following pages to my young friend and assistant in the Museum Mr Walter Keeping. The old Catalogue of the Palaeozoic Fossils, by Prof. McCoy (now of the University of Melbourne), was a work of enormous labour and of very great scientific skill; especially when we consider the date of its appearance. Its publication was a real benefit to the Academic Student, a distinction to the University Press, and a great honour to its Author. In the clearness and elaborate accuracy of its descriptions of the several species the work is I think unrivalled, in spite of all that has been written since. But I wish to write historically, and profess not here to enter upon critical questions of scientific detail. In an advancing science like Geology, any catalogue, however good at the time of its publication, must soon become defective from changes of nomenclature, from improved classifications, and above all from the discovery of new species. Mr Davidsons great works on the Brachiopoda have thrown new light upon the divisions of that class of Mollusca, and very greatly changed the nomenclature of the genera and species.

Book Description
"Fabulous Fossils is a timely and significant contribution to the history of science and evolutionary paleontology. It details humanity's interest and developing understanding of trilobites from the recovery of these fossils at 15,000 year-old Paleolithic sites, to the 18th century appreciation that they were arthropod fossils. This volume elaborates on the development of modern trilobite research in Australia and a number of American, European, and Asian countries"--Publisher's description.

Evolution

Pages : 891
Book Description
Donald R. Prothero’s Evolution is an entertaining and rigorous history of the transitional forms and series found in the fossil record. Its engaging narrative of scientific discovery and well-grounded analysis has led to the book’s widespread adoption in courses that teach the nature and value of fossil evidence for evolution. Evolution tackles systematics and cladistics, rock dating, neo-Darwinism, and macroevolution. It includes extensive coverage of the primordial soup, invertebrate transitions, the development of the backbone, the reign of the dinosaurs, and the transformation from early hominid to modern human. The book also details the many alleged “missing links” in the fossil record, including some of the most recent discoveries that flesh out the fossil timeline and the evolutionary process. In this second edition, Prothero describes new transitional fossils from various periods, vividly depicting such bizarre creatures as the Odontochelys, or the “turtle on the half shell”; fossil snakes with legs; and the “Frogamander,” a new example of amphibian transition. Prothero’s discussion of intelligent design arguments includes more historical examples and careful examination of the “experiments” and observations that are exploited by creationists seeking to undermine sound science education. With new perspectives, Prothero reframes creationism as a case study in denialism and pseudoscience rather than a field with its own intellectual dynamism. The first edition was hailed as an exemplary exploration of the fossil evidence for evolution, and this second edition will be welcome in the libraries of scholars, teachers, and general readers who stand up for sound science in this post-truth era.
