Book Synopsis
This is the story of plant life on Earth, retold through a remarkable record of spectacular fossils. Palaeobotanist Paul Kenrick explains the importance of each fossil and how it marks a crucial inflection point in plant evolution. Each discovery is illustrated with photography featuring original specimens from the Natural History Museum, London.

Trade Review
'Fascinating... scientifically detailed, yet accessible' Nature; 'The Natural History Museum in London is known for publishing excellent books and this is another tour de force to add to its catalogue... an extremely readable and well-illustrated book that is pretty enough to be a ‘coffee table’ book, but also sufficiently informative to be an academic text.' The Biologist
