Amber : Window to the Past
David A. Grimaldi
This remarkable book explores the unique properties of amber (fossilized tree resin) that have intrigued people the world over. First published for the hugely popular 1996 exhibition organized by the American Museum of Natural History, New York, this book reveals amber's role in tracing evolutionary history and its use in decorative arts and jewelry. New exhibitions--at the Newark Museum and the soon-to-be-open Museum of the Earth in Ithaca, New York--attest to the continuing fascination with amber in nature and art.
