摘要：Gonzalo Giribet and Gregory D. Edgecombe 2020. The Invertebrate Tree of Life. xvi + 589 pp. Princeton University Press, Princeton and Oxford. ISBN 9780691170251 (hardcover). Price £70.00 / $85.00. Palaeozoologists need a zoological reference that would be at the same time more advanced than an undergraduate textbook, but less than an overdetailed (and most often partly unpublished, partly antiquated) multivolume treatise; incorporating modern data and yet treating classical morphological questions which are most useful when dealing with the fossil record. Such a set of requirements seems nearly impossible to meet, but The Invertebrate Tree of Life is a strong candidate.
