Rezensionen
"Jain's new book ranks amongst the best reference tomes in reviewing current micropalaeontological knowledge and communicating this in a highly suitable form ... . this book aptly demonstrates the amazing diversity of microfossils. Important is the fact that all chapters are organised and styled similarly, and their length is comparable, making this tome really comprehensive. ... both clarity and brevity of explanations make this book an easy read for a wider audience, including those people who have only very elementary knowledge of microfossils, or none at all." (Dmitry A. Ruban, Geologos, Vol. 26 (3), 2020)
"Fundamental of Invertebrate Palaeontology - Macrofossils" would be well suited for those aspiring to familiarize themselves with invertebrate palaeontology, and particularly students and amateurs attempting to identify and describe invertebrate macrofossils. Hence, this book by Professor Sreepat Jain would certainly serve as an excellent reference work for paleontology students or enthusiastic amateurs." (Tom Trapman, Journal of Paleontological Techniques, April, 2018)

"Jain's book will be very good companion to professional geologists and palaeontologists needing advice on any general or particular issue ... students in palaeontology and their teachers, and amateurs trying to identify common fossils and wishing to extend their knowledge. ... this volume is a treasure for all who are interested in the 'classical' palaeontology and stratigraphy ... ." (Dmitry A. Ruban, Zentralblatt für Geologie und Paläontologie, Issue 3-6, 2017)
