Wonderfull Life of Stepehen Gould was probably one of the first books I did read on history of life. Although several minor points have been proven to be wrong the overal picture is still true and this book will never fail to increase our interest and curiostity about how life evolved many millon years ago.

Every time Cambian explosion is mentioned images of the rich fauna described by Stephen Gould in this book comes to my mind.
