An Outline of Phanerozoic Biogeography
ISBN: 9780198540601 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The general acceptance of plate tectonics and continental drift by the early 1970s galvanized the study of biogeography and our understanding of the origin and evolution of life. However, until now the accumulated information has been widely scattered in the literature. This book is the first to synthesize the results of over two decades of prolific research in a clear, concise format accessible to students of geology, geography, and biology. It will also serve as a valuable resource for teachers of paleontology who are interested in paleobiogeography as well as for geologists needing to know...

Bonebeds: Genesis, Analysis, and Paleobiological Significance
ISBN: 9780226723716 / Angielski / Miękka / 499 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The vertebrate fossil record extends back more than 500 million years, and bonebeds localized concentrations of the skeletal remains of vertebrate animals help unlock the secrets of this long history. Often spectacularly preserved, bonebeds both modern and ancient can reveal more about life histories, ecological associations, and preservation patterns than any single skeleton or bone. For this reason, bonebeds are frequently studied by paleobiologists, geologists, and archeologists seeking to piece together the vertebrate record.

The Meaning of Fossils: Episodes in the History of Palaeontology
ISBN: 9780226731032 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. "It is not often that a work can literally rewrite a person's view of a subject. And this is exactly what Rudwick's book should do for many paleontologists' view of the history of their own field." Stephen J. Gould, "Paleobotany and Palynology"
"Rudwick has not merely written the first book-length history of palaeontology in the English language; he has written a very intelligent one. . . . His accounts of sources are rounded and organic: he treats the structure of arguments as Cuvier handled fossil bones." Roy S. Porter, "History of Science"" "It is not often that a work can literally rewrite a person's view of a subject. And this is exactly what Rudwick's book should do for many paleontolo...

Scenes from Deep Time: Early Pictorial Representations of the Prehistoric World
ISBN: 9780226731056 / Angielski / Miękka / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. How did the earth look in prehistoric times? Scientists and artists collaborated during the half-century prior to the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species to produce the first images of dinosaurs and the world they inhabited. Their interpretations, informed by recent fossil discoveries, were the first efforts to represent the prehistoric world based on sources other than the Bible. Martin J. S. Rudwick presents more than a hundred rare illustrations from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to explore the implications of reconstructing a past no one has ever seen.

Late Paleocene-Early Eocene Biotic and Climatic Events in the Marine and Terrestrial Records
ISBN: 9780231102384 / Angielski / Twarda / 508 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The transition from the Paleocene to the Eocene Epoch--approximately 55 million years ago--represents a critical moment in the earth's history, when the warmest climatic episode of the Cenozoic era occurred. This sudden global warming resulted in major turnovers among marine and terrestrial organisms. Although this episode has become one of the most popular areas of research in the geologic sciences in the past decade, there has not yet been a work that brings together the profusion of new results in one volume. This book offers by far the most comprehensive source of data on a critically...

Exceptional Fossil Preservation: A Unique View on the Evolution of Marine Life
ISBN: 9780231102544 / Angielski / Twarda / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Most nonscientists are usually aware of fossils, and it is commonly believed that they are extremely rare. In fact, fossils are exceptionally common in many sedimentary rocks and are used extensively in geology for age dating, interpretation of ancient environments, and the discovery of natural resources. However, there is another type of fossil deposit that is truly rare. These rare fossil deposits, called Lagerstatten, preserve the remains of the soft tissues or the articulated skeletal remains of ancient creatures in truly astonishing fine detail. Some of these deposits are world-famous,...

Theoretical Morphology: The Concept and Its Applications
ISBN: 9780231106177 / Angielski / Miękka / 378 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 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...
