…the authors have retained the same high standard [as the first edition]… excellent colour reproduction… Absolutely enthralling - I couldn’t put it down!

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
