Teeth

This is really a nice text book, with excellent illustrations of a wide variety of mammalian teeth. Althought it is intended for archaeologists, it will be of great use for zoologists and paleontologists. The book is divided into two parts: a first one (chapter 1) describing and figuring teeth for several mammal species; and a second one (chapters 2 to 5) on general topics such as dental tissues, criteria for age determination, variation of size and morphology in populations, etc. This second half is the best part of the book. The first one is right, but some important aspects of the morphology are not described, and there are errors in some descriptions (I have noticed that in the case of rodents). Furthermore there are important omisions (in the case of hystricognathous rodents, only the capybara is presented). Teeth of reptiles, amphibians and fishes are neither presented nor discussed. There are an important number of errata in the figures. I hope that forecoming editions of "Teeth" will solve these problems and errors and will provide more detailed descriptions of the specimens.

After all, a good text book for archaeologists and paleontologists.
