The author, a palaeobotanist at the University of Bucharest, developed a library of approximately 9,000 titles since 1990, overcoming challenges posed by prior political restrictions. With many resources in palaeobotany scarce online and often dating back to the 19th century, the library serves as a critical asset for research. Additionally, after working as a coal miner, the author established a field laboratory in a Czech-speaking Romanian village by purchasing a house, where they conduct geological mapping courses and engage in extensive fieldwork to collect fossils and other samples annually.
In 1990, I left Bucharest with my backpack and my boots to work as a coal miner in the southern Carpathian Mountains, collecting samples such as fossils, rocks and especially coal.
More than half of the library is not available online yet, because palaeobotany is a narrow field of research, and you have to rely on nineteenth-century books and articles.
