Dear Annelida colleagues,

Fortey,Richard; Thomas,Richard (Eds.) (?1997): Arthropod relationships.
Systematics Association / Chapman & Hall, . (gbp 115) (isbn 0412754207)

Has anyone come across the Fortey/Thomas book yet or know more about its 
substance and the papers in it?

It was briefly reviewed in New Scientist 28 March #2127:49 which 
commented:

"There is growing evidence for an early grouping of arthropods with other
animals that moult, such as the priapulid worms, and a separation from the
annelids."

(R. Fortey is also the author of "Life: An unauthorised biography" which 
is apparently extremely popular. A brilliant title, but I regret I found 
the content insufficiently Gouldian in wit and gave up on it early. Should 
I have persisted?)
