This extensively illustrated book, the first major review of Lebanese amber, covers all aspects of the highly valued resin, including its origin and its role as a commodity in ancient cultures. Paleontologists, biologists, and evolutionists will appreciate the book's new information, along with its summary of early research and its analysis of what amber fossils reveal about insect diversification, biogeography, extinction, and survival.
