Recenzii
"… the most ambitious and comprehensive survey of bone paleohistology, designed to be relevant to those working on extant species too. There is no other book on the subject anywhere close to it in its broad scope.
It is wonderful to see a field that flourishes based on new information and careful consideration of the biology and taphonomy of the evidence.
This book hopefully stimulates by its sheer size and scope ..."
Marcelo R. Sánchez-Villagra in Swiss Journal of Palaeontology, v. 141, 2022
"The texts … are very good, of course, but the illustrations are outstanding. There is so much information presented … that a proper summary of their contents would be a book in itself. … the greatest value of the book comes from the sheer number of photographs and other images of thin sections of different bone tissues …"
