Pressestimmen
"A splendid gift for anyone interested in the evolution of terrestrial life. By opening the door to a diversity of ideas, the authors turned what could have been a gaping void into an agenda for many a lab meeting or conference session. Taylor, Taylor, and Krings provide the most accurate, useful, and well-illustrated comprehensive account of fossil plants now in print. Their new edition has caught up with recent discoveries and the progress of thoughts about plant evolution. It points the way toward the most promising avenues for future research." -SCIENCE "A colossal revision . with 2139, mostly color figures, this dynamite book by TNT & al. reflects the explosive growth and immense influence of paleobotany in recent decades." -TAXON
Kurzbeschreibung
This book provides up-to-date coverage of fossil plants from Precambrian life to flowering plants, including fungi and algae. It begins with a discussion of geologic time, how organisms are preserved in the rock record, and how organisms are studied and interpreted and takes the student through all the relevant uses and interpretations of fossil plant. With new chapters on additional flowering plant families, paleoecology and the structure of ancient plant communities, fossil plants as proxy records for paleoclimate, new methodologies used in phylogenetic reconstruction and the addition of new fossil plant discoveries since 1993, this book provides the most comprehensive account of the geologic history and evolution of microbes, algae, fungi, and plants through time.This is a major revision of a 1993 classic reference. It is lavishly illustrated with 1800 images and user friendly for use by paleobotanists, biologists, geologists and other related scientists. It includes an expanded glossary with an extensive up-to-date bibliography and a comprehensive index. It provides extensive coverage of fungi and other microbes, and major groups of land plants both living and extinct.

Umfangreich und mit zahlreichen Fotos ausgestattet. Neueste Erkenntnisse eingeschlossen. Für jeden der sich über Paläozoische Pflanzen erkundigen möchte und der der englischen Sprache nicht scheut.
Es gibt außerdem Fotos über pläozoische Pollen und Sporen. Ich habe selbst lange Jahre über paläozoischen Pollen und Sporen gearbeitet. Die Aufnahmen sind gut und ergänzend. Ich wünschte, es wären meine!

This Is It!
4. Januar 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
STOP whatever you are doing and buy this book! I have the first edition and rated it as the best volume on fossil plants. Now the second edition is here and it is dramatically better! Why is it better? Well first of all there are over 2,000 illustrations. Secondly most of the illustrations are in color! Third, the book has larger pages and more of them allowing for better explanations and greatly expanded coverage.
This is THE finest book on fossil plants EVER!
The drawbacks are few; there is the weight of the book which precludes it being read in bed, and the old illustration on page 1022 of a horseshoe crab, supposedly hiding on a lycopod branch indicating land activity, has been disproved several times by Anderson and others. Finally there is the occasional problem of lack of locality information on many of the photos. I would like to know where the specimens were found, at least country of origin. These are trivial compared to the strengths of the book.
If you have any interest in paleobotany, this book is a must. The price is low when you consider it is the best of its kind. This book needs to be part of any college level library where geology is taught.
Now, go to the top of the page, find the "order button", click on it and await the best book on paleobotany ever. You will be impressed!

A superlative encyclopedic treatise on paleobotany.
25. Dezember 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Just received my copy today and I couldn't be more pleased. The book construction and materials are absolutely superb. Archival library binding and premium gloss paper with over 2100 illustrations and exquisite photography convey an almost lifelike appearance throughout. The book is actually 1230 pp. with appendix, glossary, references and index.
This is truly a Magnum Opus of paleobotany, sure to please the most meticulous academicians and amateurs alike. This work will certainly have a broad appeal to botanists beyond those with a purely paleontological bent. Although one caveat for the neophyte; this is not an easy slog. At a minimum a cursory knowledge of botany and paleontology is required lest the reader become ensnared in the plethora of scientific parlance and doctrine.
A magnificent tome, easily one of the best paleobotany references ever produced.

Evolutionary history of plants
20. August 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The magisterial new book by Taylor, Taylor, and Krings is definitely the best treatment on the evolutionary history of plants (and some related taxa) in the marketplace. It is not a mere update of the Taylors' well-known earlier textbook but a completely new review of this subject. The taxonomic coverage is comprehensive, and the book is lavishly illustrated. An additional positive attribute is that the authors recognize and celebrate historical contributions in the field - something all too uncommon nowadays. I was just amazed that it was published by Academic Press - not a name generally associated with affordable books - at a mere $120.00 (actually less on Amazon and major booksellers). This is a "must buy" for anyone seriously interested in the history of life on Earth.
