"[A] remarkable book." — Mark A. Wilson, Paleontology Newsletter
"Highly recommended" — Choice
"Frank K. McKinney's book succeeds admirably in its attempt to provide a thorough review of the oceanography, sedimentology, and marine ecology of the Adriatic Sea. This book ties together strands that such paleobiologists as J. J. Sepkoski, Richard Bambach, and Richard B. Aronson have been working on for more than thirty years, and thus provides a complete synthesis that is a major contribution." — Mark McMenamin, Mt. Holyoke College
