Invertebrate Palaeontology and Evolution is well established as the foremost palaeontology text at undergraduate
level. This fully revised fourth edition includes a complete update of the sections on evolution and the fossil
record, and the evolution of the early metazoans. New work on the classification of the major phyla (in particular
brachiopods and molluscs) has been incorporated, and the section on trace fossils is extensively rewritten. The
author has taken care to involve specialists in the major groups, to ensure the taxonomy is as up-to-date and accurate
as possible.
