Dinosaurs and Other Reptiles from the Mesozoic of Mexico
This overview of dinosaur discoveries in Mexico synthesizes current information about the geography and environment of the region during the Mesozoic when it was the western margin of the ancient continent of Pangea. The book summarizes research on various groups, including turtles, lepidosauromorphs, plesiosaurs, crocodyliforms, pterosaurs, and last but not least, dinosaurs. In addition, chapters focus on trackways and other trace fossils and on K/P boundary (the Chicxulub crater, beneath the Gulf of Mexico, has been hypothesized as the site of the boloid impact that killed off the dinosaurs). Dinosaurs and Other Reptiles from the Mesozoic of Mexico is an up-to-date, informative volume on an area that has not been comprehensively described until now.
An Illustrated Guide to Dinosaur Feeding Biology
This beautifully illustrated exploration of the diversity, anatomy, and evolution of dinosaur feeding adaptations is the first and only in-depth look at this crucial aspect of paleoecology. In An Illustrated Guide to Dinosaur Feeding Biology, experts Ali Nabavizadeh and David B. Weishampel bring dinosaurs to life on the page by exploring and illustrating their feeding adaptations. Whether dinosaurs were carnivorous, herbivorous, or omnivorous, their evolution produced a multitude of specialized adaptations that helped shape their ecologies. Dinosaur skulls show a variety of bone and joint specializations ideal for withstanding stresses and strains induced by high bite forces with strong jaw ...
Studies on Mexican Paleontology
This is the first comprehensive source of information about Mexican fossils to be published in English. The book offers updated information in the fields of stratigraphy, sedimentology, tectonics, paleobiogeography, paleoclimatology and evolution. Included is an extensive bibliography of almost 1000 references related to the central topic, a tribute to two centuries of research.
Biodiversidad y ecología mexicana
La compilación presenta información actual sobre temas de diversidad biológica y ecología de especies relevantes en términos de conservación, así como aspectos de uso sustentable de recursos naturales. La diversidad biológica comprende el cúmulo de organismos vivos considerando todos los niveles de su organización (genes, poblaciones, especies, comunidades, hábitats, ecosistemas y paisajes). Por su parte, la ecología busca comprender las relaciones que existen entre los organismos y los elementos bióticos y abióticos en su medio ambiente. Ambas líneas de investigación se encuentran estrechamente relacionadas y conforman la base para el aprovechamiento adecuado de los recursos naturales disponibles.
In Pursuit of Early Mammals
“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 ...
Dinosaurs
Here is the fifth supplement to Dinosaurs: The Encyclopedia, a 1998 American Library Association Outstanding Reference Book (ARBA called it "a reference legend...lavishly illustrated, cleverly written, and extraordinarily comprehensive"). Since the publication of the acclaimed first volume, a virtual explosion in the number of exciting discoveries in dinosaur paleontology has made supplemental volumes necessary and indispensable. Among the many dramatic events discussed in the fifth supplement are the discovery of what may be the largest Jurassic theropod specimen yet collected; the uncovering of evidence of a dinosaur possessing opposable fingers; and Robert M. Sullivan's reassessment of Pa...
Lernen will gelernt sein - Band 2
Lernen bedeutet geistige Anstrengungen und fängt nicht erst in der Schule an. Für den guten Start ins Leben ist die allseitige Bildung wichtiger denn je. Gerade in der heutigen globalisierten Welt spielt es für Pädagogen/innen die wichtigste Aufgabe, der Vermittlung wissenschaftlicher Bildungsinhalte wieder einen festen Platz im Tagesablauf einzuräumen. Die Vermittlung von Kenntnissen, Fähigkeiten und Fertigkeiten beginnt bereits in der Kinderkrippe und sollte im Kindergarten differenzierter weitergeführt werden. In den Fachgebieten Muttersprache und Literatur, Natur, Malen, Musik, Sport und Gesellschaft erwerben die Kinder ein solides allgemeinbildendes Grundwissen. Dauer und Inhalte...
Rhinoceros Giants
A book for everyone fascinated by the huge beasts that once roamed the earth, Rhinoceros Giants: The Paleobiology of the Indricotheres, introduces a prime candidate for the largest land mammal that ever lived - the giant hornless rhinoceros, Indricotherium. These massive animals lived in Asia and Eurasia for more than 14 million years, about 37 to 23 million years ago. They had skulls 2 metres long, stood over 7 meters at the shoulder, and were nearly twice as heavy as the largest elephant ever recorded, tipping the scales at 20,000 kg. Fortunately, the big brutes were vegetarians, although they must have made predators think twice before trying to bring them down. In this book for lovers of ancient creatures great and small, Donald R. Prothero tells their story, from their discovery by palaeontologists just a century ago to the latest research on how they lived and died, with some interesting side trips along the way.
