Fossil plants, Vol. 2: A text-book for students of botany and geology

"Fossil Plants, Vol. 2: A Text-book for Students of Botany and Geology" by A. C. Seward is a scientific book from the past, made for more advanced students who are studying fossil plants, and digs into the structures and anatomy of plant groups from throughout Earth’s history. The beginning explains how paleobotany has come a long way, which has meant that ferns and some gymnosperms have been re-evaluated. Seward gets into the difficult parts of dealing with fossil data, such as how hard it can be to classify fossils when there are missing parts, and explains that the breadth of the study means there will need to be a third book released. The opening also shows how important teamwork is, and that botanical research is always changing, which Seward shows through complicated details of how plants have evolved through the fossil record.
