Zusammenfassung
|
"This is a translation from the French of a richly illustrated book of micropaleontology written engagingly for a general audience. The book was first published in France under the title Merveilleux microfossiles. Bâtisseurs, chronomètres, architectes by Biotope éditions in 2016. Author De Wever explains what microfossils are and why we should care about them, before moving into the history, tools, and methods of investigating them. Microfossils are formed by radiolaria, which are ancient microscopic protozoa that produce intricate mineral skeletons. Under microscopic view their fossils looks like snowflakes and other delicate shapes. He explains the applications of microfossil study to science and industry. The illustrations pair historical naturalist drawings with modern photomicrographs. The book brings natural history to light for a popular audience"
