A mix of focused and review papers deals with numerous aspects of the evolutionary history of turtles, including embryonic development, origins, early diversification, phylogenetic relationships, and biogeography. Moreover it includes reports on important but poorly understood fossil turtle assemblages, provides historical perspectives on turtle research, and documents disease and variation in turtles. With its broad scope, which includes descriptions of material and new taxa from Australia, Asia, and Europe, as well as North and South America, this work will be an essential resource for anyone interested in the morphology and evolution of turtles.  ?This volume?s breadth of time, geography, and taxonomic coverage makes it a major contribution to the field and a ?must have? for all vertebrate paleontologists.?, James F. Parham, California State University, CA, USA  ?A comprehensive and sweeping overview of turtle evolution by the top experts in the field that will interest everyone curious about these unique reptiles.? Jason S. Anderson, University of Calgary, Canada  ?An invaluable addition to the literature that covers the full spectrum of approaches toward understanding the evolution of these noble creatures.? Ann C. Burke, Wesleyan University, CT , USA  ?A truly comprehensive volume that both the student of fossil turtles, as well as the general reader interested in these enigmatic creatures, will find fascinating.?
