This is an excellent introduction to the history of fishes. The volume is well-illustrated. It has a glossary and is indexed

Fish fossils, actually fossils of any kind, are fascinating. This is a nice assortment. While the author and I probably agree on how cool these fossilized fish are, he probably would take issue with my belief that these fish were buried in the world-wide flood as described in Genesis. But that doesn't stop me from thinking that this is still a neat book, textual errors aside.
