The Evolution of North American Rhinoceroses
ISBN: 9780521832403 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. First appearing about 40 million years ago in North America, rhinoceroses diversified into an incredible array of taxa, with a variety of ecologies that don't resemble any of the five living species. They ranged from delicate long-legged dog-sized forms, to huge hippo-like forms that apparently lived in rivers and lakes. Including a complete systematic review, and discussions of biogeography, evolution and paleoecology, this book summarizes our current knowledge of North American rhinos and constitutes the most complete reference available.

Evolution: What the Fossils Say and Why It Matters
ISBN: 9780231139625 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Over the past twenty years, paleontologists have made tremendous fossil discoveries, including fossils that mark the growth of whales, manatees, and seals from land mammals and the origins of elephants, horses, and rhinos. Today there exists an amazing diversity of fossil humans, suggesting we walked upright long before we acquired large brains, and new evidence from molecules that enable scientists to decipher the tree of life as never before. The fossil record is now one of the strongest lines of evidence for evolution. In this engaging and richly illustrated book, Donald R. Prothero...

From Greenhouse to Icehouse: The Marine Eocene-Oligocene Transition
ISBN: 9780231127165 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The marine Eocene-Oligocene transition of 34 million years ago was a critical turning point in Earth's climatic history, when the warm, high-diversity "greenhouse" world of the early Eocene ceded to the glacial, "icehouse" conditions of the early Oligocene. This book surveys the advances in stratigraphic and paleontological research and isotopic analysis made since 1989 in regard to marine deposits around the world. In particular, it summarizes the high-resolution details of the so-called doubthouse interval (roughly 45 to 34 million years ago), which is critical to testing climatic and...
