Book excerpt: Several years ago, we realized that the most prominent ideas that had been ex pressed about the origin and early evolution of the Metazoa seemed to have been developed chiefly by zoologists using evidence from modern species without reference to the fossil record. Paleontologists had, in fact, put forth their own ideas but the zoological and the paleontological evidence were about the problem, seldom considered together, especially by zoologists. We believed that the paleon tological documentation of the first Metazoa was too scattered, too obscure to Western readers, and much of it too recent to have been readily available to our colleagues in zoology. Whether or not that was entirely true, we thought that a single volume reviewing the fossil record of the earliest Metazoa would be useful to many in both paleontology and zoology, especially since so much new informa tion has been developed in the last few years. Some of this information has been summarized in general articles recently, but an overview of most of the field does not exist. We therefore organized this book in five parts so that the evidence could be placed in perspective and summarized and inferences made from it. Part I intro duces the previous hypotheses that have been proposed for the origin and early radiation of Metazoa. Part II consists of two summary chapters that set the sedi mentological, geochemical, and biological background to the known radiations of Metazoa.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thougtit that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 31 (thesis year 1986) a total of 11 ,480 theses titles trom 24 Canadian and 182 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base tor these titles reported will greatly enhance the value ot this important annual reterence work. While Volume 31 reports theses submitted in 1986, on occasion, certain univer sities do re port theses submitted in previousyears but not reported at the time.
Download or read book Late Proterozoic and Cambrian Tectonics Sedimentation and Record of Metazoan Radiation in the Western United States written by Nickolas Christie-Blick and published by American Geophysical Union. This book was released on 1989 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Field Trip Guidebooks Series, Volume 331. The articles and guide which follows them have been prepared for an eight-day field excursion organized in conjunction with the 28th International Geological Congress in Washington, D.C., in July, 1989. The purpose of the excursion is to review the results of recent research concerning the tectonic, stratigraphic and sedimentological development of the western United States in Late Proterozoic and Cambrian time, and the paleoenvironmental context of the latest Proterozoic and Early Cambrian metazoan radiation event. The location and tectonic setting of stops are shown in the Frontispiece. Our studies build on those of many other geologists, whose contributions are acknowledged in the list of references. In particular, we draw attention to the fundamental contributions over many years of C.A. Nelson, J.H. Stewart and L.A. Wright, and the late M.D. Crittenden, Jr. and S.S. Oriel. Without the basic observations and insights of these individuals, it is unlikely that the present level of understanding would have been achieved. At the same time, we recognize that interpretations and ideas summarized here are subject to revision as research continues.
