520 1 $a"Paleobotany is a subject of interest to life and earth scientists of many kinds - from evolutionary biologists to plant systematists - from paleoecologists to earth scientists and geologists. Substantial new fossil discoveries are constantly changing our ideas about the biology and evolution of plant species." "Paleobotany; The Biology and Evolution of Fossil Plants presents the most up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of the subject available. It combines an unrivaled scope and depth of coverage with the most complete range of illustrations ever published on the subject. It discusses the fossil record of all of the major plant groups, as well as, uniquely, the microbes and algae. Each chapter starts with a brief introduction to the group(s) under consideration, putting the fossil forms into context with a systematic, structural, evolutionary, and ecological overview of the group. Descriptions of me most recent research on the variety and characteristics of early plant life, plant evolution, paleoecology, and a novel discussion of reconstructed ancient plant/animal interactions are included. This book will serve as both a comprehensive textbook and a major reference for paleobotany and allied disciplines."--BOOK JACKET.
