Trilobite! by Richard Fortey

Trilobite! by Richard Fortey

Trilobites have all the glamour of the dinosaur and twice its endurance. What we need, instead of Walking with Dinosaurs is something like Swimming with Trilobites. Everyone must grasp the bigger story. You start with something tiny, like trilobites, and finish up looking at how the world was made. RICHARD FORTEY

Praise for LIFE: AN UNAUTHORISED BIOGRAPHY:

‘Read this book because it is, indeed, the best natural history of the first four billion years of life on earth’
John Gribbin, Sunday Times

‘Richard Fortey is a scientist… but his big, rich history of four billion years of evolution is written with an artist’s zest for life and language. Anyone who wants to understand how we came to be here on earth,
4 000 000 000 years after life began, should read this sparkling book.’
Maggie Gee, Daily Telegraph

The tale of life needs constantly retelling. Thank some happy accident of history that we have Fortey to tell it to us anew.’
Ted Nield, New Scientist
