Absorbing. well-rounded study,
By A Customer
This review is from: Plant Fossils: The History of Land Vegetation (Fossils Illustrated) (Hardcover)
Although written chiefly for students of paleontology, Plant Fossils is an accessible and attractive book for anyone interested in origin and evolution of land plants. It also reveals how paleobotanists obtain microscopic cross-sections of plant fossils for study and reviews some of the major figures in paleobotany since its professional inception in the early 19th century. Many beautiful line drawings and exceptional black and white plates enliven the text.

This review is from: Plant Fossils: The History of Land Vegetation (Fossils Illustrated) (Hardcover)
This book provides a very readable and concise overview of different groups of fossil plants, from the Middle Silurian to the present. There are plenty of books out there about fossil animals, and in particular dinosaurs. For those of us who want to know a bit more about what grows as well, this is a good book to start with. The latter half of the book consists of photographs of fossils.
