Why Dinosaurs Matter
Author: Kenneth Lacovara
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501120107
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
What can long-dead dinosaurs teach us about our future? Plenty, according to paleontologist Kenneth Lacovara, who has discovered some of the largest creatures to ever walk the Earth. By tapping into the ubiquitous wonder that dinosaurs inspire, Lacovara weaves together the stories of our geological awakening, of humanity’s epic struggle to understand the nature of deep time, the meaning of fossils, and our own place on the vast and bountiful tree of life. Go on a journey––back to when dinosaurs ruled the Earth––to discover how dinosaurs achieved feats unparalleled by any other group of animals. Learn the secrets of how paleontologists find fossils, and explore quirky, but profound questions, such as: Is a penguin a dinosaur? And, how are the tiny arms of T. rex the key to its power and ferocity? In this revealing book, Lacovara offers the latest ideas about the shocking and calamitous death of the dinosaurs and ties their vulnerabilities to our own. Why Dinosaurs Matter is compelling and engaging—a great reminder that our place on this planet is both precarious and potentially fleeting. “As we move into an uncertain environmental future, it has never been more important to understand the past.”

Book Description
Can we clone Dinosaurs? Or who are DINOSAURS??? If this is a term you are not familiar with, maybe you imagined that creepy snake or lizard that haunts you the most, or perhaps the huge Anaconda from the infamous movies crossed your mind? If you know what it means, just one image came to mind, and I don't have to give examples this time. Absolutely. Creatures that no longer exist. & if they did, we would not have. The Dinosaurs. We can probably all agree that dinosaurs were magnificent creatures. Fossilized bones, waste, vegetation of that time and so on provide a great deal of insight into their power & form. Despite that, looking further into it, we don't find much Differences in the knowledge we can gain from various books, research papers, documentaries, & other sources. With our knowledge of material remains found so far and the molds of these majestic reptiles, we are only able to speculate what their behaviour, eating habits and homes would have been like. Functionality of the reproductive system, etc. Let's take a closer look at these dinosaurs in a completely different way with this book, which will leave you in awe.

In Pursuit of Early Mammals
Author: Zofia Kielan-Jaworowska
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253008247
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
“Mesozoic mammal fossils are the focus of this fascinating book, which reviews both the fossils themselves and the history of their discovery.” —Choice In Pursuit of Early Mammals presents the history of the mammals that lived during the Mesozoic era, the time when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, and describes their origins, anatomy, systematics, paleobiology, and distribution. It also tells the story of the author, a world-renowned specialist on these animals, and the other prominent paleontologists who have studied them. Zofia Kielan-Jaworowska was the first woman to lead large-scale paleontological expeditions, including eight to the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, which brought back important collections of dinosaur, early mammal, and other fossils. She shares the difficulties and pleasures encountered in finding rare fossils and describes the changing views on early mammals made possible by these discoveries. “A thorough review of the current state of early mammalian paleontology presented through the unique historical filter of someone who was at the foremost of the field for over half a century.” —The Quarterly Review of Biology “Whether she’s talking about how mammals evolved their distinctive ear bones, or how she built a cabin out of plywood during a particularly cold field season in the Gobi, you know that a remarkable, passionate person is telling a story of science and adventure in her own words.” —Priscum “A fascinating window into the development of the field . . . The perspective of an individual at the center of these developments is captivating, informative, and has never before been published.” —Gregory P. Wilson, University of Washington
