## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clear, readable simplification of a complex topic
*by C***N on September 30, 2012*

As a layperson with some interest in paleontology, I found this book a rewarding read. Clack starts with an overview of the book, followed by a (for laypeople) detailed chapter on tetrapod anatomy. After this, the book looks at the lobe-finned fishes and goes on to present the transition to land in chronological order, focusing on key fossil deposits (Greenland, Quebec, southern Scotland, and more). The book is relatively expensive for an e-book, but is long and packed with detail. The presentation of theory and evidence here is very clear and understandable. There is a reasonable amount of taxonomic and anatomical info, enough to provide some support for the book's claims, but not so much to slow it down. I found it well worth the money, but this is a popular science book with the emphasis on the science. The focus is strictly on the facts; if the topic doesn't interest you, the book won't win you over.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Title
*by R***S on May 9, 2016*

And a truly great book. For anyone who's interested in our early cousins' transition from aquatic life forms to terrestrial tetrapods, I cannot recommend any but Jennifer Clack's "Gaining Ground". This is a wonderful exposition on this most important of events in prehistoric times. I LOVED this book, and highly recommend it to anyone interested in evolution as I am. Thank you Jennifer, for a wonderful work!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tetrapods Rule
*by D***S on June 21, 2020*

A VERY detailed look at the evolution of tetrapods. It examines not only the bony evolution, but respiratory systems, skulls, teeth, jaws, and hearing. Not for the casual reader, but most informative.
