Reviews
From the reviews:
"Cephalopods Present and Past is a well-edited volume whose content is based on a 2004 conference. … The chapters, written by an international group of scientists, essentially constitute review papers in a specialized subset of paleontology. As such, these chapters will be required reading for specialists. … This book will be important for libraries that maintain a research collection in invertebrate paleontology or invertebrate zoology. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students through professionals." (P. K. Strother, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (11), August, 2008)
