Echoes of Life: What Fossil Molecules Reveal about Earth History

Description:

An engaging, rigorously researched history of organic geochemistry and the discovery of 'biomarkers' - fossil molecules trapped in ancient rocks and oils that preserve the chemical signatures of prehistoric life. Written by a novelist-chemist alongside two pioneering geochemists, the narrative traces how a group of interdisciplinary scientists bypassed conventional academic silos to merge chemistry, geology, and biology. A fundamental volume for collections focusing on paleontology, molecular biology, and the history of science.
