"...the authors have retained the same high standard [as the first edition]... excellent colour reproduction... Absolutely enthralling - I couldn't put it down! Down To Earth 20121201 ...very well written and beautifully illustrated with stunning colour photographs and informative diagrams... excellent coverage of sites worldwide and through geological time. The text is jargon-free and light on technical terms, therefore appealing to a wide range of people including amateur enthusiasts, students and professionals. Museums with collections or displays from any of the sites listed in this book would benefit from having a copy of ""Evolution of Fossil Ecosystems"" and it would be an excellent choice to stock in the gift shop allowing visitors to learn more about these exceptional fossil sites. -- James E. Jepson The Geological Curator 20121201"
