Synopsis: The authors explore the late Precambrian and earliest Cambrian fossil record to explain the Cambrian phenomenon and discuss the possibility of a major turnover in marine ecology at the beginning of the Cambrian period or whether a new, improved type of animal appeared at this time. They support their often controversial conclusions with photos and illustrations of fossils, some never before published.

Review: "The excitement of the investigator working on a frontier of science glows through the pages of this [volume].... It fills an important niche, and it will be found to be highly readable by all who are scientifically literate." -- "American Scientist"
