Macroevolution is currently an area of considerable debate. In this highly readable book a leading palaeoecologist develops a new evolutionary synthesis based on evidence that, contrary to Darwin's ideas, the fossil record of the ice-ages shows that short term evolutionary processes cannot be extrapolated to longer timescales.
