Darwin's Lost World: The Hidden History of Animal Life
"The story is part travelogue, part memoir, told in an individual style with singular anecdotes. This is a scientific adventure that will entertain and inform general readers and has the potential to inspire the next generation of young researchers."--The Quarterly Review of Biology"Accurately subtitledThe History of Animal Life, this discourse by Brasier is part travelogue (without maps of the out-of-the-way geological formations he visited around the world), part memoir (not chronological by author's career or geologic record), and part commentary on multicellular life near the Cambrian-Precambrian boundary 543 million years ago. Readers with some knowledge of Earth's geologic history and of invertebrates will appreciate the book."--CHOICE"A rollicking account of [Brasier's] adventures seeking an answer to a question that vexed Charles Darwin."--Library Journal
