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.

ISBN: 9780520236882 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Just one hundred years ago, Americans almost universally condemned cremation.

Stephen Prothero synthesizes a wide array of previously...

Wordsworth and Welsh Romanticism
ISBN: 9781443847742 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 215 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Popular anthologies hold that the Romantic Era in Great Britain ended promptly in 1832 and that the early Twentieth Century was the time of Modernism and the rejection of the Romantic in British letters. However, in Wales, just the opposite was true. This study traces the work of poets and novelists in Wales in the early- to mid-Twentieth Century who all found their poetic master to be William Wordsworth. In the early part of the century, W. H. Davies, John Cowper Powys and Huw Menai - a tramp, a mystic novelist and a coal miner - produce novels and poetry with Wordsworth as their...

ISBN: 9780691604954 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 584 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The transition from the Eocene to the Oligocene epochs was the most significant event in earth history since the extinction of dinosaurs. As the first Antarctic ice sheets appeared, major extinctions and faunal turnovers took place on the land and in the sea, eliminating forms adapted to a tropical world and replacing them with the ancestors of most of our modern animal and plant life. Through a detailed study of climatic conditions and of organisms buried in Eocene-Oligocene sediments, this volume shows that the separation of Antarctica from Australia was a critical factor in changing...
