Atlas of Plants & Animals in Baltic Amber

The book is superbly illustrated by 92 full coloured plates. Application of modern techniques, including colour and close-up photography, has allowed demonstration of the extremely detailed preservation of body shape and surface structures in these trapped creatures. Particularly impressive are pictures of minute structures such as insect eyes, mouth apparatuses and genital organs (see, for example, Plates 76 and 86).
The volume is a precious source of current knowledge on Baltic amber for both palaeontologists and zoologists, as well as for those interested in amber from scientific and popular viewpoints.
