About This Book
Evolution recreates the 3.5-billion-year story of life on Earth in
stunning detail through vivid full-color illustrations and graphics, the
latest scientific information, and hundreds of photographs. At the heart
of the book is an astonishing, beautifully detailed panorama by renowned
illustrator Peter Barrett that, in 100 double-page site reconstructions,
offers a freeze-frame view of the communities--from microbes to
humankind--that have lived on our planet's continents and in its oceans.
These groundbreaking artworks, based on the most recent findings at some
of the most famous fossil sites around the world, are paired with an
authoritative and highly informative text written for a wide audience of
readers. A landmark project, published to commemorate the 200th
anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of his
book On the Origin of Species, Evolution has been produced in
association with the Natural History Museum in London, one of the most
important centers of evolution research in the world. The volume
includes an index of the hundreds of species shown in the illustrations,
introductory articles on evolution, and many other features, making it a
must-have reference for all homes, schools, and libraries.
"Palmer's scholarship is up to date and the text passages are highly
appropriate. He has a sense for a good story and good science as well.
This book is a prodigious effort, not least in the artwork, but also in
the assembly of photos and illustrations, and of course the
text."--Kevin Padian, University of California, Berkeley
Douglas Palmer teaches at Cambridge University and is the author of many
books, including Earth: The Definitive Visual Guide to our Planet, The
Origins of Man: An Illustrated History of Human Evolution, and The
Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Life. His articles

Barrett is a natural history illustrator, painter, graphic designer, and
children's book author.
