Product Information
Trilobites have been known to instill lifelong habits of fossil collecting, and are generally considered a favorite fossil. These distant relatives of modern lobsters, horseshoe crabs, and spiders roamed the planet for 300 million years, from the Lower Cambrian to the end of the Permian. And they did so very well--trilobite fossils have been found on every continent on earth, and include over 20,000 species. Trilobite collecting has also had a long lifespan, with evidence of the first dating 50,000 years to burial remains. But few have collected as passionately as Riccardo Levi Setti, who has species named after him, and who for decades has been the guide and master of this amazing domain. This new work combines the best of science and fossils with that of technology, bringing Trilobites to life in full color. The stunning photos, all original, are accompanied by a text that shares Levi-Setti's global quests to find the most sought after fossils in the world. It has taken him from Morocco, to Tucson, and these stories help crystallized as well the story of trilobites and their role in planetary history.

Reviews
A stunning picture of the diversity and fascination of the 'giant woodlice.' . . . Beginning with a basic flanged, flattened, woodlouse-like form, trilobites radiated into burrowers, scurriers, plodders, and swimmers. Astonishingly diverse, by virtue of numbers, species, and impact, they were major players for over 270 million years. The Trilobite Book is a tour-de-force, spanning the Cambrian to the Devonian, and roaming from Newfoundland to Morocco. It's hard to know whether to be more impressed by the diversity of trilobite forms, the quality of fossil preservation, or the skills of those who prepared the specimens. . . . The text and photographs, all taken by the author, work beautifully together to build a picture of the intricacy and complexity of trilobites. This is best shown with the eyes, where even the single calcite crystal lenses survived intact. This is the real eye through which trilobites would have seen a world where they did indeed do things differently., To write that it is visually stunning is to put it lightly. Never before in one place have I seen so many amazing photographs of the fossilized remains of these fascinating creatures., Spectacular. . . . Levi-Setti obviously not only knows, but also loves his trilobites, and this love transpires through the book. I found myself devouring page after page. . . . Beautiful., They may have died out 250 million years ago, but trilobites-a group of marine arthropods containing some 20,000 species-have a persistent grip on the human imagination. This coffee-table gem . . . marries the intertwined story of [Levi-Setti's] global hunt for specimens and trilobites' place in prehistory with 235 superb colour photographs of select fossils. Perhaps most astounding is the array found by Arkadiy Evdokimov in Russia: their preservation is exquisite, down to the rococo flourishes of curving spines and protuberant, complex eyes., In this enchanting book [trilobites] are portrayed in all their diversity in a series of enthralling colour photographs. . . . The focus of this remarkable book differs somewhat from that of its predecessors. . . . It is a personal journey, a kind of travelogue through the trilobite world, starting with Levi-Setti, a professor of physics at the University of Chicago, finding his first trilobite in a suburb of that city, more than 40 years ago. Since then he has travelled to many trilobite-rich locations around the world, and this book's ensuing chapters eloquently describe and illustrate what he has collected. . . . Marvellous. . . . Its production values are excellent, its photographs amazing. . . . And at this price it is a bargain, to be savoured with a glass of wine on a winter evening., They may have died out 250 million years ago, but trilobites--a group of marine arthropods containing some 20,000 species--have a persistent grip on the human imagination. This coffee-table gem . . . marries the intertwined story of [Levi-Setti's] global hunt for specimens and trilobites' place in prehistory with 235 superb colour photographs of select fossils. Perhaps most astounding is the array found by Arkadiy Evdokimov in Russia: their preservation is exquisite, down to the rococo flourishes of curving spines and protuberant, complex eyes., Fortunately for curious humans, trilobites left behind an abundance of fossils, which look more like magical creatures from another galaxy than fossils from this planet. Their intricate patterns and designs along with a crayon box assortment of colors make them perfect 'treasure hunt' collectibles. . . . This gorgeous, well-researched book is a must-have for anyone interested in these prehistoric creatures, as well as anyone who simply wants an impressive book to display on the living room coffee table., Although extinct for 250 million years, trilobites remain one of the fossils most prized by both amateur collectors and professionals because of their incredibly varied and intricate body plan, including one of the first complex vision systems in the animal kingdom. Levi-Setti is a distinguished physicist, but his other passion is paleontology, and he has a demonstrated expertise in collecting, preparing, and imaging trilobites. This coffee-table book, a completely new endeavor and quite distinct from his earlier successful book, Trilobites , provides a richly personal, detailed introduction to the topic. . . . . The real value of this volume is in the glorious full-color illustrations of exquisitely prepared trilobites that would be at home both on the coffee table and on an academic's bookshelf. . . . Highly recommended., Is there a more enviable person on Earth than Riccardo Levi-Setti? Professor Emeritus of physics at the University of Chicago, former director of the Enrico Fermi Institute, Guggenheim Fellow, Fellow of the American Physical Society, recipient of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic, and the Leonardo da Vinci Award of the Order Sons of Italy in America, inventor of the high-resolution scanning ion microprobe . . . and author of three photo-rich volumes on the subject of his avocation, trilobites. . . . Now, nearly four decades after the first Atlas , Levi-Setti has published the book says he has long wanted to but could not because of the prohibitive production costs--a full-color compilation of trilobite photos. The Trilobite Book: A Visual Journey is not a third edition of the original Atlas . It is instead a very personal tour of trilobites the author has known and the expeditions he took in collecting them. . . . Every reader of A Visual Journey will identify their own 'OMG' image. . . . A great gift for anyone who answers 'Trilobite!' to the question, 'What is your favorite fossil?'
