"Henry Gee is a senior science writer for Nature, but he was trained as a paleontologist and is thus in an ideal position to write a popular account of a major revolution in scientists' approach to the fossil record. But this is not impartial outsider's account: It is a passionate advocacy of the new perspective by someone who actually participated in the revolution....The two great strengths of Gee's account are its iconoclastic destruction of many popular evolutionary scenarios and the author's intimate knowledge of the personalities and events surrounding the revolution."Henry Gee is the author of 'In Search of Deep Time: Beyond the Fossil Record to a New History of Life (Comstock Books)', published 2000 under ISBN 9780801487132 and ISBN 0801487137.
