Plants and the K-T Boundary
«Review of the hardback: '…a superb discussion on what the plant record tells us about the causes of the mass extinction across the boundary.' Bulletin of the British Ecological Society»
In this text, two of the world's leading experts in palynology and paleobotany provide a comprehensive account of the fate of land plants during the 'great extinction' about 65 million years ago. They describe how the time boundary between the Cretaceous and Paleogene Periods (the K–T boundary) is recognised in the geological record, and how fossil plants can be used to understand global events of that time.

«Review of the hardback: '… a sound, clearly written and well-documented book … The authors, a palynologist and paleobotanist, have done a great service to the scientific community in bringing together the many lines of evidence … to provide a clear and detailed picture of the nature of the plant life at the close of the Cretaceous and the beginning of the Paleogene. … We recommend this book to all who take an interest in the geologic history of our Earth.' Newsletter of the AASP (The Palynological Society)»
