"This book describes the latest research on fossil turtles and thus is a substantial addition to the field of vertebrate paleontology. ... this work will be an essential resource for all global researchers interested in the morphology and evolution of reptiles, including the most intriguing of them, the turtles. ... will be very useful to students, researchers, and scientists in the field of paleontology and biology." (Rituparna Bose, Priscum, Vol. 21 (1), 2014)
"This massive volume will be a landmark in the study of turtles. ... This is a rich resource with many photographs and illustrations and information on the contributions of many earlier students of turtles. It is essentially a book for specialists in turtle anatomy and evolution, but some of the more broadly focused chapters will be of use to many professionals in paleontology and biology, and advanced students in those areas. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above." (D. Bardack, Choice, Vol. 50 (6), February, 2013).
