""How Vertebrates Left the Water" integrates new and diverse lines of evidence to show what it took to make the transition to land. Although some aspects of Laurin's view are controversial, his presentation succeeds because he considers the received views as well. This topic is too important to leave to textbook orthodoxy."--Kevin Padian, University of California, Berkeley "The invasion of land by vertebrates, like the task of putting a human on the moon, was not easy. In recent years, the complex and intriguing evolutionary story of 'How Vertebrates left the Water' has benefited from many important new discoveries and has been a matter of considerable debate.

I think that Darwin would have been both surprised and pleased to read Michel Laurin's "How Vertebrates left the Water" and discover just how much has been achieved over the last 150 years since his theory of evolution was published."--Douglas Palmer, author of "Evolution: The Story of Life "
