Описание: This beautiful volume introduces the incredible animals that populated the planet before the Age of the Dinosaurs. Readers voyage to a time, beginning about 370 million years ago, when the first four-footed vertebrates appeared, and ending 200 million years later at the moment when the dinosaurs begin their ascent. During this time, vertebrates emerge from the sea and there appears a parade of animals, each more astonishing than the last. On this expedition, we learn how paleontologists become detectives to understand the history of life and we discover that many widely held ideas about the evolution of species are completely false. Earth before the Dinosaurs is an entertaining and informative guide to an astonishing and little-known world.

Описание: Learning about dinosaurs has never been more fun or more creative. Its easy to think about dinosaurs as fantastical, other-worldly beasts, "real" only as glorified monsters in summer sci-fi blockbusters and our imaginations. Its quite another to think of them as living, breathing animals every bit as real as hawks and parakeets. Animals that lived complex lives filled with intricate behaviours that allowed them to interact with each other and their surroundings, just as all animals do today -- including us! As scientists, thats how we spend our days -- trying to read the clues left behind by the fossilised bones to figure out just how they lived their lives. There is only so much that the bones can tell us, though, so we look to the modern natural world to help us fill in the gaps. And this is where our imaginations become an important part of the process again! Dinosaurs Behaving Badly will provide plenty of both! We will tell you about the latest research on dinosaur behaviour, but let you interpret the details in your own way. Use every ounce of your creativity and imagination to bring the ancient world back to life, and see what you just might learn in the process!

Описание: Applied Palaeontology, first published in 2006, adopts a holistic, integrated approach to palaeontology. After an introduction to fossils, the principal groups are studied in detail. Latter sections focus on their applications in interpreting earth and life processes and environments. A valuable reference for scientists and professionals involved in the applications of palaeontology.

Vertebrate Evolution and Palaeontology from an African Perspective offers an up-to-date account of the 4.4-billion-year history of life on Earth using the African context and fossil record, and emphasising local contributions, both scientific and cultural. In rich and fascinating detail, the authors present the origin and evolution of all major groups of vertebrates, from fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds. They explore their anatomy, physiology and ecology, including descriptions of features used to classify animals, and how these features change over time. The often-surprising ways that different groups of animals are related to each other is revealed in the book’s mapping of the tree of life. Readers are taken through the evolutionary order from the origin of fish through the origin of jaws, the conquest of land, the evolution of reptiles, birds and mammals, to the dawn of humankind. Students of biology, zoology, anatomy and palaeontology and the curious public are introduced to diverse African and South African fossils and their scientific relevance that will shape their understanding of the great transitions in vertebrate evolution.

This volume details the results of an excavation carried out prior to development at Swan’s Nest in the town of Swaffham, Norfolk, which recorded prehistoric activity spanning the Mesolithic to Iron Age.
Of greatest significance was the identification of an extensive Middle Bronze Age enclosure within which structures were once located and large-scale flint heating activities were carried out. Artefacts, animal bones and paleoenvironmental remains recovered from the enclosure have allowed for the partial reconstruction of the past environment and the human communities once present at the site.
Within this volume the fieldwork results are presented along with the finds, faunal, environmental and aerial imagery analyses that have been carried out as part of this project. The site is discussed within its broader regional context and in relation to the development of the local landscape across time.
The Swan’s Nest evidence has granted significant insights into the prehistoric communities that once occupied the environs of Swaffham and the wider Breckland region.
