Aimed at non-specialists, this is an introduction, published in 1931, to the field of palaeobotany. Seward describes the basics of geology and palaeobotany and explains how the interpretation of fossilised plant remains, even though the evidence is fragmentary, can shed light on the natural world of successive prehistoric periods.
