November 4, 2006--Levi-Setti documents the persistence
of trilobites through time with specimens that exhibit
the rich array of their diversity. But this is more than
a catalog of natural beauty; it is also an engaging
commentary on the history of life on earth. By
presenting the array of trilobite families and
analyizing how their sizes and shapes changed through
geological time, Levi-Setti shows how trilobites
contribute to our understanding of the development of
life. In addition, he completes the pioneering studies
of giant Newfoundland trilobites and trilobite eyes that
he began two decades ago.
