As bewilderingly diverse then as the beetle is today, they survived in the arctic or the tropics, were spiky or smooth, were large as lobsters or small as fleas. And because they flourished for three hundred million years, they can be used to glimpse a less evolved world of ancient continents and vanished oceans. Erudite and entertaining, this book is a uniquely exuberant homage to a fabulously singular species.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>?[W]onderful reading about a charming group of gone-but-not-forgotten creatures. <i>Natural History <p/></i>?[F]ortey gives a passionate and often lyrical account of his life with trilobites. <i>Nature <p/></i>?Fortey is...a gifted writer who shares his knowledge with grace and verve...<i>.
