0 someone who studies fossils as a way of getting information about the history of life on Earth: --
Already in the late seventies a few climate modellers accepted this challenge under the curious, mildly sceptical gaze of palaeontologists and geologists.
The second book under review here is less likely to be of immediate interest to palaeontologists, although it is obviously an important contribution to neurobiology.
Nobody gazes with awe and wonder at the palaeontologist who provides them with the age of the rocks they are studying.
But geologists or palaeontologists hoping to learn anything about molluscan biology or taphonomy will be either disappointed or misled.
For this reason, any palaeontologist, sedimentologist or petroleum geologist should be interested in this topic and know how to use ichnology.
As a palaeontologist he provides a great deal of valuable information on the fossils of the island, and also on reconstructing past environments.
And, as a systematic palaeontologist, it has to work for me, otherwise it fails.
As such, it firmly places palaeontologists into a position of some significance in the modern environmental debates.
