Description

The title provides a historical account of the origin, rise, and importance of paleobiology. Drawing on a wealth of archival material, Sepkoski shows how the movement was promoted by an influential group of paleontologists and examines the intellectual, disciplinary, and political dynamics involved in the ascendancy of paleobiology.
