Re: The Story of Life in 25 Fossils by Donald R. Prothero

I've finished reading the entire book. Agree with both your posts. The Charnia is certainly interesting. It kind of makes you wonder if mother nature was trying out a system for an efficient method of transferring nutrients within an organism. I like Prothero's style. I've mainly been reading up on ...

Re: Need Book Promotion Tips

I wish I could be of more help but I've learned more about what doesn't work. :) To be honest, I've had little luck with social media. Twitter is just one big ad site now.

It gives one the impression that over several millennia, folks were dealing with a similar idea. If it has it fault, it's ...
