In this richly illustrated book, David Bainbridge recounts how legends like these gradually gave rise to the modern science of \u003cem\u003epalaeontology\u003c\/em\u003e, and how this pioneering discipline has reshaped our view of the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBainbridge takes readers from ancient Greece to the eighteenth century, when palaeontology began to coalesce into the scientific field we know today, and discusses how contemporary palaeontologists use cutting-edge technologies to flesh out the discoveries of past and present. He brings to life the stories and people behind some of the greatest fossil finds of all time, and explains how palaeontology has long straddled the spheres of science and art.

Early scientists could sense there was an order that unified all life and formulated a variety of schemes to help illustrate this.
