Part 1 of the book, The Fossils and Finders, presents an overview of the science of paleontology and major fossil groups, with attention to the pioneering paleontologists. Part 2, A Walk Through Deep Time, introduces representative Alabama fossils in a context of ancient ecosystems, with a brief look at selected fossils of neighboring states. Part 3, From Discovery to Impact, traces the variety of expertise it takes to collect, prepare, identify, curate, display, and educate about fossils. Part 4, Why It Matters delves into how the story of ancient life should enrich our lives and improve science education, biodiversity conservation, climate policies, and metaphysical reflections. All four parts are interspersed with personal stories of paleontologists in their many sub-disciplines, from the early nineteenth century to the present. Joy of the Hunt sections scattered throughout give personal accounts of serendipity and excitement regarding special fossil finds.
