I loved Professor Benton's book WHEN LIFE NEARLY DIED so much I wanted to read through anything else by him. Even if it's "just" a textbook, I still loved VERTEBRATE PALAEONTOLOGY. It provides a good overview of the subphylum, consistent because the drawings throughout are the same, which doesn't necessarily exist in other textbooks that utilize different artistic renderings. And, btw, the taxons to get us here are: Eukaryota, Opisthokonta (unraked, but higher than a phylum, in this case Animalia, and anything with flagellum in their life cycle), Animalia, Chordata. Highly recommended for enthusiasts... - lc

Not the easiest read, but filled to the brim with exciting information and it's not boring either. There were a lot of comparisons between ancient animals to current animals that helped put things into perspective

A well-crafted textbook that should be on the shelf of every student of paleontology.

Lots of fascinating information, but not generally what I'd call a light read. But will really educate you on the subject and Benton has a very British subtle sense of humor, though this is more traditional text writing here. Very knowledgeable.

Friert

Really nice modern treatment of the sbject. Nicely illustrated.

Hiylchis

The "standard" for vertebrate paleontology courses at UK colleges. For those with a serious interest in the subject, this will move your understanding to the next level. Extensive literature references throughout the text. Very readable.

I'm a big fan of vertebrates in the evolutionary theater, and so was excited to purchase this book. And thats why I was disappointed by this dry and uninsightful account. I'd recommend Pough's Vertebrate Life for a more interesting and conceptual read.

The book was in the condition advertised. Pleased and would order from this seller again.
