Reviews for Fossils at a Glance
"Generally, the book by Milsom & Rigby is a must for all beginners (especially undergraduate students) and educators in geosciences (not only palaeontology, but also general and historical geology). Additionally, the reviewer tends to recommend this book strongly for fossil amateurs and field geologists." (Zentralblatt fur Geologie und Palaontologie, 1 January 2011)
