这本书提供了从前寒武纪生命到开花植物的化石植物的最新报道，包括真菌和藻类。它首先讨论地质年代，生物体如何保存在岩石记录中，以及生物体如何被研究和解释，并通过所有相关的使用和化石植物的解释学生。本书的新章节介绍了其他开花植物科、古生态学和古代植物群落的结构、作为古气候代理记录的化石植物、用于系统发育重建的新方法以及自1993年以来新发现的化石植物，提供了对微生物、藻类、真菌和植物的地质历史和进化的最全面的描述。* 1993年经典参考文献的主要修订 * 1，800张图片的华丽插图和用户友好的古植物学家，生物学家，地质学家和其他相关科学家使用 * 包括一个扩展的词汇表，广泛的最新书目和全面的索引 * 提供真菌和其他微生物的广泛覆盖面，以及生活和灭绝的陆地植物的主要群体
This book provides up-to-date coverage of fossil plants from Precambrian life to flowering plants, including fungi and algae. It begins with a discussion of geologic time, how organisms are preserved in the rock record, and how organisms are studied and interpreted and takes the student through all the relevant uses and interpretations of fossil plants. With new chapters on additional flowering plant families, paleoecology and the structure of ancient plant communities, fossil plants as proxy records for paleoclimate, new methodologies used in phylogenetic reconstruction and the addition of new fossil plant discoveries since 1993, this book provides the most comprehensive account of the geologic history and evolution of microbes, algae, fungi, and plants through time. * Major revision of a 1993 classic reference * Lavishly illustrated with 1,800 images and user friendly for use by paleobotanists, biologists, geologists and other related scientists * Includes an expanded glossary with an extensive up-to-date bibliography and a comprehensive index * Provides extensive coverage of fungi and other microbes, and major groups of land plants both living and extinct
