About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"The volumes of Springer’s series ‘Topics in Geobiology’ bring together contributions from leading scientists in hot research fields investigating the interaction between Earth and life. … For university libraries. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (W. L. Cressler III, CHOICE, Vol. 44 (10), June, 2007)
"The emphasis on biology – whether geo or palaeo – is a heartening sign of the times … . So is the volume successful? In principal, absolutely. This is very much the kind of multidisciplinary approach that is necessary to appreciate when and how biology revolutionized the surficial Earth system, yielding our modern, uniformitarian world. … Its real value … lies in synthesis, and the focus it brings to one of the most fascinating intervals in Earth history." (N. J. Butterfield, Geological Magazine, Vol. 145 (3), 2008)
