Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Winner of the PROSE Award in Earth Science, Association of American Publishers"
"[A] vivid, gripping book. . . . Dale Greenwalt . . . has written a riveting account of a field achieving revolutionary insights."---Simon Ings, New Scientist
"[An] eye-opening guide to this new world of understanding, one that encompasses chemistry along with biology."---David P. Barash, Wall Street Journal
"An accessible book on ancient life that focuses as much on chemistry as on biology."---Wade Lee-Smith, Library Journal
"[Fascinating] . . . an unabashedly excited report from the front lines"---Steve Donoghue, Open Letters Review
"The book provides a fascinating journey through the very latest in research into the origins of life on Earth. . . . No one should be intimidated by this highly readable work."---David Gascoigne, Travels with Birds
"If you think you cannot stomach yet another popular book on palaeontology, think again. Remnants of Ancient Life is as fascinating as the inviting cover and subtitle suggest, managing to put a completely fresh gloss on the topic of palaeontology."---Leon Vlieger, The Inquisitive Biologist
