โœฆ Synopsis


Phytolith Analysis is the first book that attempts to present all aspects of the subject in one volume. As such, a wide variety of fields need to be covered (botany, paleoecology, soil science) because phytolith analysis is a truly interdisciplinary subject. The book accomplishes this difficult task admirably, although oriented ultimately towards applications to fossil material. The botanical aspect, however, is shown to be crucial to the interpretation of fossil phytoliths and is presented in detail.
