  • "In this volume, Martin J.S. Rudwick provides the first modern translation of Cuvier's essential writings on fossils and catastrophes. Some of these writings have never appeared before in English, and two pieces have never been published in any language. Rudwick links these translated texts together with his own insightful narrative and interpretive commentary, placing Cuvier's work in its biographical, scientific, and social context."
