The first book on the hunt for evolution's 'missing links' over the last three decades - and what palaeontologists' findings mean for our place on earth.
Brian Switek is a science writer and research associate at the New Jersey State Museum. He writes the blog Laelaps for Wired Science ('Brilliant writing about palaeontology and evolution' - The Times) and Dinosaur Tracking for Smithsonian. He has been a guest on BBC Radio's Material World and written for The Times and The Guardian as well as the Wall Street Journal and Scientific American. This is his first book.
Well researched and beautifully written
*BBC Focus*
Magisterial ... part historical account, part scientific detective
story. Switek's elegant prose and thoughtful scholarship will
change the way you see life on our planet.
*Neil Shubin, author of ‘Your Inner Fish’*
A fine guide to the four-dimensional tapestry of life
*Nature*
Switek has produced in his first book prose and paleontological
inspiration comparable to the work of the late Stephen Jay Gould
... Highly recommended.
*Choice*
