ISBN: 9781108084833 / Angielski / Miękka / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1747 the Roman publisher Venantius Monaldinus produced a Latin edition of two early works proposing the animal origins of fossils (reproduced here from the 1752 printing). The first, originally entitled La vana speculazione, first appeared in Italian in 1670. Its author, Agostino Scilla (1629-1700), was a skilled artist who painted fresco cycles in several churches in his native Sicily. From examining the fossils found in the strata on either side of the Strait of Messina and observing sedimentation in rivers, he deduced that not only molluscs but even the mysterious glossopetrae (actually...

ISBN: 9780520292642 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Paleobiologist Anthony D. Barnosky weaves together evidence from the deep past and the present to alert us to the looming Sixth Mass Extinction and to offer a practical, hopeful plan for avoiding it. Writing from the front lines of extinction research, Barnosky tells the overarching story of geologic and evolutionary history and how it informs the way humans inhabit, exploit, and impact Earth today. He presents compelling evidence that unless we rethink how we generate the power we use to run our global ecosystem, where we get our food, and how we make our money, we will trigger what would be...

Ice Age Extinctions, a New Theory: Explains Megafaunal, Neanderthal, Hobbit extinctions and Geomagnetic Reversals
ISBN: 9780981922157 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For at least the past century scientists have been trying to explain the extinction of megafauna during the past Ice Ages. Mammoths, mastodons, giant ground sloths, cave bears and many other mammals disappeared throughout the Pleistocene Epoch. The last of these giant animals became extinct around 10-12 thousand years ago. Human hunting and climate change are the competing extinction hypotheses but neither has consistently emerged as the dominant explanation. Is there a third contender that is better able to explain the extinctions? Yes there is and this book describes the theory that not...
