Over the past twenty years paleontologists have made tremendous fossil discoveries including fossils that mark the growth of whales manatees & seals from land mammals & the origins of elephants horses & rhinos. Today there exists an amazing diversity of fossil humans suggesting we walked upright long before we acquired large brains & new evidence from molecules that enable scientists to decipher the tree of life as never before. The fossil record is now one of the strongest lines of evidence for evolution. In this engaging & richly illustrated book Donald R. Prothero weaves an entertaining though intellectually rigorous history out of the transitional forms & series that dot the fossil record. Beginning with a brief discussion of the nature of science & the monkey business of creationism " Prothero tackles subjects ranging from flood geology & rock dating to neo-Darwinism & macroevolution. He covers the ingredients of the primordial soup the effects of communal living invertebrate transitions the development of the backbone the reign of the dinosaurs the mammalian explosion & the leap from chimpanzee to human. Prothero pays particular attention to the recent discovery of "missing links" that complete the fossil timeline & details the debate between biologists over the mechanisms driving the evolutionary process. Evolution is an absorbing combination of firsthand observation scientific discovery & trenchant analysis. With the teaching of evolution still an issue there couldnt be a better moment for a book clarifying the nature & value of fossil evidence. Widely recognized as a leading expert in his field Prothero demonstrates that the transformation of life on this planet is far more awe inspiring than the narrow view of extremists." ...

Duncan Charman's love of fishing started when at just five years old he would winkle out two-inch rudd one after another from a local farm pond under the watchful eye of his father Tony. Duncan began to test his angling prowess by fishing Oakhanger Angling Club's junior matches & soon became one to watch when dipping his hand in the peg bag. However his successes were interspersed with the occasional bitter cold day's blank & the heart-sinking words ' Sorry mate eels don't count!' That's when Duncan made the transition into the world of specimens where two-inch rudd became two pounders & where 6lb eels most certainly did count. Regular photos in the angling press & captures of record proportions gave way to the penning of articles & with a big fish never far away Duncan was never short of a word or two. Duncan is now bordering on being a fulltime angler & regularly features with Keith Arthur in the Bothy on Sky Sports Tight Lines as well as creating Internet videos for Coarse & Match Fishing Monthly. Since completing his first magazine article over a decade ago Duncan has compiled hundreds of features for most of the top titles such as Angler's Mail Angling Times Coarse Angling Today & Total Coarse Fishing. He also writes for Blinker one of the biggest publications in Europe is a patron for The Thames Anglers' Conservancy & is now a professional angling coach guiding others anglers toward catching the fish of their dreams. Fishing was Duncan's first love & it will be his last. ...
