Description
French zoologist Georges Cuvier (1769-1832) helped form and bring credibility to geology and palaeontology. In Georges Cuvier, Fossil Bones, and Geological Catastrophes, Martin J. S. Rudwick provides the first modern translation of Cuvier's essential writings on fossils and catastrophes. He links these translated texts together with his own insightful narrative and interpretive commentary.
"Martin Rudwick has done English-speaking science a considerable service by translating and commenting on Cuvier's work. . . . He guides us through Cuvier's most important writings, especially those which demonstrate his new technique of comparative anatomy."—Douglas Palmer, New Scientist
