Building on the latest scientific understanding, Keith Thomson places fossils in a very human context, highlighting their impact on mythology, philosophy, our concept of time, and popular culture. This Very Short Introduction provides a remarkably all encompassing explanation of fossils as a phenomenon."--Jacket.
