Author: John H. OstromPublisher: Yale University Press

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
Originally published in 1966, this is a new updated edition describing the discovery and analysis of one of the largest assemblages of dinosaur and Jurassic mammal fossils in 1896. Since the first publication, further excavation has taken place at Como Bluff, Wyoming, which has produced new discoveries that hint at what still may be buried there. A detailed history of the excitements and disappointments of the long excavation campaign during the second half of the 19th century includes many extracts from letters, contemporary sketches and reproductions of most of the original lithographs. This is as much a history of palaeontology as it is a reappraisal of the fossil remains.

Book Description
National Bestseller Most travelers only fly over the Great Plains--but Ian Frazier, ever the intrepid and wide-eyed wanderer, is not your average traveler. A hilarious and fascinating look at the great middle of our nation. With his unique blend of intrepidity, tongue-in-cheek humor, and wide-eyed wonder, Ian Frazier takes us on a journey of more than 25,000 miles up and down and across the vast and myth-inspiring Great Plains. A travelogue, a work of scholarship, and a western adventure, Great Plains takes us from the site of Sitting Bull's cabin, to an abandoned house once terrorized by Bonnie and Clyde, to the scene of the murders chronicled in Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. It is an expedition that reveals the heart of the American West.

Book Description
Synopsis: Writer and movie director and producer Glut, who specializes in dinosaurs, continues to expand his 1997 reference on the extinct creatures by compiling new information based on recent research by paleontologists and corrected or emended old information. He intends to provide a handy reference tool for professional scientists and students, as well as less technical information of interest to the more casual dinosaur enthusiast. The main section describes the dinosaurian genera; others consider systematics, doubtful taxa that have been named but not fully described or delineated, and excluded genera.-Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc.
