I looked in vain for the terms theropod, cynodont and perissodactyl and yet some 10% of the definitions are apparently devoted to palaeontology. Investigations of regional tectonics included work on structural geology, stratigraphy and palaeontology, and collecting samples for palaeomagnetic and isotope age studies. It is highly recommended to those interested in palaeontology at any level. The first two chapters set the scene whilst the third introduces something of the palaeontology. Additionally, there has been a lot of interest in the vertebrate palaeontology with attempts to integrate body and trace fossils. It is a multi-disciplinary science that encompasses the disciplines of chemistry, biology, palaeontology, geology, atmospheric physics, planetary physics and stellar physics. Against this, source rock evaluation and oil-oil/oil-source rock correlation are particularly well done, as is the application of palaeontology. Palaeontology journals these days publish a regular stream of papers which deal with disintegration of this or that taxon. Overall this is an interesting book about the history of palaeontology and the natural sciences in general. Each site entry follows a similar pattern under the headings: introduction, description, sedimentology, palaeontology (if appropriate), interpretation and conclusions. The book includes a great deal of geology with an account of the stratigraphy, palaeontology, structural geology, and volcanology of the island. This volume, therefore, is one that will be widely consulted, and will be an essential addition to any library where palaeontology is an active subject. A significant asset as a first-year introductory text is its coverage of all palaeontology from microfossils to hominids and plants. The emphasis of the contributions is mostly on bedrock geology (stratigraphy, palaeontology, structures, metamorphism and petrology) although two studies of geomorphology are included. The palaeontology, with more than 30 entries for animal fossil groups including bryozoans, has an overly animal bias. The one area of palaeontology covered in this volume is palynology. A sound evolutionary theory of schizophrenia must integrate current biological evidence about the disorder with insights from contemporary primate research, evolutionary genomics, and palaeontology. More difficult decisions concern what topics to include in subjects such as mineralogy and palaeontology. All chapters integrate information from outcrops, cores, petrography, geochemistry, palaeontology and structural geology where appropriate. Would-be palaeomalacologists will learn more about their beasts by reading any standard palaeontology or zoology text. Students genuinely interested in palaeontology will love it, and professors who use it in their classes and labs will no doubt consider it a welcome addition to their syllabus. Palaeontology remains central to our understanding of early vertebrate evolution, as it provides a temporal aspect as well as the only direct documentation of morphology and diversity. If one has to delve into the deeper history of palaeontology, the early 19th century and perhaps even into the late 18th century, then we can be in trouble.
