About Thomas Wiewandt:
Stemming from a passion for science and art (MS in Zoology, University of Arizona; PhD in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University), Thomas Wiewandt has forged a career in natural history media and owns Wild Horizons Publishing. He lives in Tucson, home of the world’s largest Gem, Mineral, & Fossil Showcase. For 34 years, Tom has been photographing many of the finest fossils found in remote corners of the globe, the foundation for this book.
FOSSILS INSIDE OUT brings fossils, paleoecology, and the fossil industry to life in a beautiful and easy-to-understand format suitable for young adults and older, scientists and non-scientists. This “coffee-table” book is packed with information connecting the past, present, and future of life on Earth. It also reaches beyond the basics by covering historical perspectives on fossil collecting, laws that can confuse anyone, new imaging technologies, the art of fossil preparation, and how to spot a fake. Most of the imagery (90%) has been selected from the author’s personal photographic archive, supplemented by exceptional artwork from outside sources. Paleontologists, collectors, dealers, museums, and artists worldwide have generously helped to make this book possible.
FOSSILS INSIDE OUT is our spin-off from THE SOUTHWEST INSIDE OUT: An Illustrated Guide to the Land and Its History, now in 4th Edition (2014, Wiewandt & Wilks). THE SOUTHWEST INSIDE OUT has sold over 35,000 copies and earned three top publishing honors––a Gold Benjamin Franklin Award; a Gold Independent Publishers Award, and the 2003 Best Book Award across all genres from the Arizona Book Publishing Association. It also won an iParenting Media Award, recognition for the best of the best in children’s media (for ages 12+).
