French zoologist Georges Cuvier (1769-1832) helped form and bring credibility to geology and paleontology. Here Martin J. S. Rudwick provides the first modern translation of Cuvier’s essential writings on fossils and catastrophes and links these translated texts together with his own insightful narrative and interpretive commentary."Martin Rudwick has done English-speaking science a considerable service by translating and commenting on Cuvier’s work. . . . He guides us through Cuvier’s most important writings, especially those which demonstrate his new technique of comparative anatomy." Douglas Palmer, New Scientist
