From the 1960Â’s onwards, the Old Red Sandstone of both borders of the Atlantic Ocean has acted as a test bed for the development of new ideas on the interpretation of fluvial, lacustrine and aeolian sedimentary rocks, and the investigation of tectonically-active basins. Much of the earlier reconnaissance work is now being reviewed in the light of further detailed field study, along with new developments in the understanding of the biostratigraphy, palaeobiology, geochronolgy, pedogenesis and tectonics. Three general papers review recent work on the stratigraphical and chronological analysi

"The Third Domain" is the untold story of how the discovery of a new form of life - first ridiculed, then ignored for the past thirty years by mainstream scientists - is revolutionizing science, industry, and even our search for extraterrestrial life. Classification is a serious issue for science: if you don’t know what you’re looking at, how can you interpret what you see? Starting with Carolus Linnaeus in the 17th century, scientists have long struggled to order and categorize the many forms of life on Earth. But by the early 20th century the tree of life seemed to have stabilize
