Written in Stone (Paperback)
The Hidden Secrets of Fossils and the Story of Life on Earth
Brian Switek
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.
Well researched and beautifully written
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.
A fine guide to the four-dimensional tapestry of life
Switek has produced in his first book prose and paleontological inspiration comparable to the work of the late Stephen Jay Gould … Highly recommended.
