When the Invasion of Land Failed: The Legacy of the Devonian Extinctions
ISBN: 9780231160575 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The invasion of land by ocean-dwelling plants and animals was one of the most revolutionary events in the evolution of life on Earth, yet the animal invasion almost failed--twice--because of the twin mass extinctions of the Late Devonian Epoch. Some 359 to 375 million years ago, these catastrophic events dealt our ancestors a blow that almost drove them back into the sea. If those extinctions had been just a bit more severe, spiders and insects--instead of vertebrates--might have become the ecologically dominant forms of animal life on land. This book examines the profound evolutionary...

Theoretical Morphology: The Concept and Its Applications
ISBN: 9780231106177 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 378 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Theoretical morphology--which seeks to sketch the range of forms that biological entities could take, with the ultimate goal of discovering why certain forms exist but others do not--is among paleontology's most significant contributions to the understanding of evolution. Today, with the aid of computers in developing conceivable morphologies, the discipline has been able to advance into a remarkable tool for the study of evolution. Yet despite these advances, the field remains largely untapped and ripe with research potential. In this volume, paleontologist George McGhee presents the first...

The Us-Turkish-NATO Middle East Connection: How the Truman Doctrine and Turkey's NATO Entry Contained the Soviets
ISBN: 9780333498927 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book describes the historical background of the Middle East and, in particular, Turkey, prior to the end of World War II. It takes up the various steps taken by the United States to combat Soviet moves after the war to take over this strategic area. It describes the inception of the Truman Doctrine to rearm and strengthen Greece and Turkey in the face of British withdrawal, the unsuccessful efforts made by the United States and Britain to establish a Middle East command or defense organisation, and the successful U.S. efforts to get Turkey into NATO, which blocked Soviet entry....

The Geometry of Evolution: Adaptive Landscapes and Theoretical Morphospaces
ISBN: 9781107407497 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The metaphor of the adaptive landscape - that evolution via the process of natural selection can be visualized as a journey across adaptive hills and valleys, mountains and ravines - permeates both evolutionary biology and the philosophy of science. The focus of this 2006 book is to demonstrate to the reader that the adaptive landscape concept can be put into actual analytical practice through the usage of theoretical morphospaces - geometric spaces of both existent and non-existent biological form - and to demonstrate the power of the adaptive landscape concept in understanding the process...

Convergent Evolution: Limited Forms Most Beautiful
ISBN: 9780262539098 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. An analysis of convergent evolution from molecules to ecosystems, demonstrating the limited number of evolutionary pathways available to life. Charles Darwin famously concluded On the Origin of Species with a vision of "endless forms most beautiful" continually evolving. More than 150 years later many evolutionary biologists see not endless forms but the same, or very similar, forms evolving repeatedly in many independent species lineages. A porpoise's fishlike fins, for example, are not inherited from fish ancestors but are independently derived convergent traits. In this book, George...
