The Poinars are world leaders in the study of amber fossils and have spent years examining the uniquely rich supply that has survived from the ancient forests of the Dominican Republic. Drawing on their research, they reconstruct here, in words, drawings, and spectacular full-color photographs, the ecosystem that existed on the island of Hispaniola between 15 and 45 million years ago.
