Frank Harold Trevor RhodesReseñas

A nice detailed overview. I am interested in evolution, but have never been strong on the fossils. This was a painless way to get a bit of background

mini guide de 1968

Would give this 2 stars for flow—reads like separate essays with lots of repetition even within one chapter that should have been edited more strictly. But as far as teaching me things I should understand in order to evaluate local and national and global efforts for future sustainability it would get 4. I have noticed that I am not skipping over stories in the newspaper describing energy, food, fishing, etc. the way I used to because I now have a bit of background, which puts them in context for me. He does a good job showing the complexity of various efforts to preserve the earth and its resources for the future—I hope politicians worldwide have this kind of framework for the difficult decisions they are making.

A nice introductory book on fossils. Though, it is somewhat dated and includes drawings/paintings of fossils rather than photographs of actual examples, it is a classic. A book many recall from childhood and why it is still in print.
