'... a sound, clearly written and well-documented book ...

Synopsis
In this text, two of the world's leading experts in palynology and paleobotany provide a comprehensive account of the fate of land plants during the 'great extinction' about 65 million years ago. They describe how the time boundary between the Cretaceous and Paleogene Periods (the K T boundary) is recognised in the geological record, and how fossil plants can be used to understand global events of that time. There are case studies from over 100 localities around the world, including North America, China, Russia and New Zealand. The book concludes with an evaluation of possible causes of the K T boundary event and its effects on floras of the past and present. This book is written for researchers and students in paleontology, botany, geology and Earth history, and everyone who has been following the course of the extinction debate and the K T boundary paradigm shift.", This book describes the fate of land plants during the 'great extinction' about 65 million years ago and explains how fossil plants can be used to understand this global event. It will fascinate researchers and students in paleontology, botany, geology and Earth history, and anyone following the extinction debate., In this text, two of the world's leading experts in palynology and paleobotany provide a comprehensive account of the fate of land plants during the 'great extinction' about 65 million years ago.

- 2***v (8)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe packaging was very minimal. One sheet of bubble wrap loosely around the item with way too much room left empty around it in the box. It arrived broken. I sent the photos to the seller immediately, and said I could try gluing the item. This was my attempt to meet in the middle and not require the full refund or the seller to loose out on the return cost of the broken merchandise. The seller offered no compensation.
- 4***r (105)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseMy item was shipped promptly and packaged nicely. It was new as described. Thank you very much!
- v***e (47)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseNot only was I sent the wrong Item, but the seller had the nerve to ask ME to send the book on to the proper customer! So I'm supposed to do her job as well? Pretty nervy to ask a first-time customer to correct a mistake YOU made! You flunked customer service.
