Index
Olivier Rieppel is Rowe Family Curator of Evolutionary Biology at the Field Museum in Chicago. He is on the editorial board of several peer-reviewed scientific journals, and has himself published more than 350 scientific papers and eight books.
This book is a highly enjoyable romp through the intellectual
history of evolutionary biology, using turtle evolution as its red
thread.
*Natural History Book Service*
Ultimately, the book should be read by anyone interested in the
history of evolutionary biology, in herpetology and
palaeoherpetology, or in turtles specifically. . . . now that we
know that Rieppel can produce volumes of this quality and
readability, I say: more please.
