Amber: Window to the Past by David A Grimaldi
Originally published to accompany a 1996 exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, this volume, now in paperback, explores the properties of amber (fossilized tree resin) and reveals its role in tracing evolutionary history and its use in the decorative arts and jewellery.
Associate curator and chairman of the American Museum of Natural History's Department of Entomology, David Grimaldi has taken part in field exploration around the world. Through both purchase and fieldwork, he has assembled one of the finest extant collections of fossiliferous amber for the Museum. Dr. Grimaldi is also Adjunct Professor, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, The City University of New York and Adjunct Professor, Entomology, Cornell University.
