The ability to travel through time, whether it is to fix a mistake in the past or gain insight into the future, has long been embraced by science fiction and debated by theoretical physicists.

Their observations are now to be seen in this superbly illustrated and highly informative book, which serves as an eight-day guided walk and identification guide to fossils of the West Dorset coast. The journal is further enhanced with illustrations by palaeo-artist, Andreas Kurpisz. [9781838152857].…
