Zustand: NEW. 240, 303 col + b/w photos, col + b/w figs. 286x220mm. HB. NEW. . After the mass extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, mammals became the dominant terrestrial life form on our planet. Roaming the earth were spectacular beasts such as saber-toothed cats, giant mastodonts, immense ground sloths, and gigantic giraffe-like rhinoceroses. Here is the ultimate illustrated field guide to the lost world of these weird and wonderful prehistoric creatures.A woolly mammoth probably won't come thundering through your vegetable garden any time soon. But if one did, this would be the book to keep on your windowsill next to the binoculars. It covers all the main groups of fossil mammals, discussing taxonomy and evolutionary history, and providing concise accounts of the better-known genera and species as well as an up-to-date family tree for each group. No other book presents such a wealth of new information about these animals - what they looked like, how they behaved, and how they were interrelated. In addition, this unique guide is stunningly illustrated throughout with full-colour reconstructions of these beasts - many never before depicted - along with photographs of amazing fossils from around the world.

Zustand: Very Good. xiv, 311, b/w text figs. . HB. 4to, orig. laminated boards. Vg. An extensively illustrated account of the evolution and diversity of hoofed mammals (ungulates), combining evidence from the fossil record with the anatomy, ecology and behaviour of living species. Covers both even-toed ungulates (Artiodactyla), including pigs, hippopotamuses, camels, deer, giraffes and bovids, and odd-toed ungulates (Perissodactyla), including horses, tapirs and rhinoceroses, together with elephants and their relatives, and the evolutionary origins of whales and dolphins.Drawing on palaeontological discoveries and cladistic analysis, the authors trace the origins, diversification and evolutionary relationships of these mammalian groups. Includes accounts of remarkable extinct forms, such as giant hornless rhinoceroses, early proboscideans, brontotheres and chalicotheres, alongside discussions of fossil discoveries, changing environments, adaptation and extinction.Written in an accessible and engaging style, with numerous illustrations, this comprehensive survey will appeal to vertebrate palaeontologists, zoologists, evolutionary biologists and naturalists interested in mammalian evolution and the history of life.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Prothero begins with the 'greenhouse of the dinosaurs,' the global-warming episode that dominated the Age of Dinosaurs and the early Age of Mammals. He describes the remarkable creatures that once populated the earth and uses his experiences collecting fossils in the Big Badlands of South Dakota to sketch their world. He then discusses the growth of the first Antarctic glaciers, which marked the Eocene-Oligocene transition. In following this dramatic transformation, Prothero shares his anecdotes of excavations and activists and illuminates the controversies between colleagues that shape our understanding of the contemporary and prehistoric world. He concludes with observations about Nisqually Glacier and other locations that prove global warming is happening much quicker than previously predicted, irrevocably changing the balance of the earth's thermostat.…

Zustand: As New. x, 218, b/w text figs. . HB. 4to (276x219mm), orig. laminated pictorial boards. As new. A comprehensive systematic review of the fossil rhinoceroses of North America, tracing their evolutionary history over some 35 million years, from their first appearance during the Eocene to their extinction on the continent. North American rhinoceroses diversified into an extraordinary range of forms, from relatively small, long-legged animals to massive, short-legged, hippopotamus-like species, occupying a wide variety of ecological niches.Provides detailed taxonomic accounts of the North American Rhinocerotidae, with descriptions, measurements and illustrations of fossil skeletal material, including skulls, dentition and postcranial bones. Examines their classification, geographical distribution, evolutionary relationships, biogeography and palaeoecology, and their significance in reconstructing the changing environments and mammalian faunas of Cenozoic North America.Extensively illustrated with 325 black-and-white figures, including photographs, anatomical drawings and maps. An important specialist reference for vertebrate palaeontologists, mammalian taxonomists and researchers interested in the evolution of the Perissodactyla. [9780521832403].…
