Amber by Neil Clark

Amber by Neil Clark

This well-illustrated survey of amber and its history will appeal to collectors, to scientists and to those simply seeking to better understand and appreciate the wonderful artefacts and curiosities that have been created in amber.

'The chapter on fossil inclusions (insects, arachnids, plants and small reptiles) is undoubtedly fascinating, but I also got drawn into his description of the multifaceted world of amber - its geological origins, its history, its mythology, its science and its identificationClark covers all this and more without ever getting too heavily involved in the minutae and, for this reason, his book is an intriguing mine of information. It is also beautifully illustrated and full of fascinating titbits - I thoroughly recommend it.' Deposits Magazine 'Amber, Tears of the Gods' would be a good addition to anyone's bookshelf.
