Download or read book History of Palaeobotany written by A. J. Bowden and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2005 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often regarded as the 'Cinderella' of palaeontological studies, palaeobotany has a history that contains some fascinating insights into scientific endeavour, especially by palaeontologists who were perusing a personal interest rather than a career. The problems of maintaining research facilities in universities, especially in the modern era, are described and reveal a noticeable absence of a national UK strategy to preserve centres of excellence in an avowedly specialist area. Accounts of some of the pioneers demonstrate the importance of collaboration between taxonomists and illustrators. The importance of palaeobotany in the rise of geoconservation is outlined, as well as the significant and influential role of women in the discipline. Although this volume has a predominantly UK focus, two very interesting studies outline the history of palaeobotanical work in Argentina and China.

Book excerpt: Fungi are ubiquitous in the world and responsible for driving the evolution and governing the sustainability of ecosystems now and in the past. Fossil Fungi is the first encyclopedic book devoted exclusively to fossil fungi and their activities through geologic time. The book begins with the historical context of research on fossil fungi (paleomycology), followed by how fungi are formed and studied as fossils, and their age. The next six chapters focus on the major lineages of fungi, arranging them in phylogenetic order and placing the fossils within a systematic framework. For each fossil the age and provenance are provided. Each chapter provides a detailed introduction to the living members of the group and a discussion of the fossils that are believed to belong in this group. The extensive bibliography (~ 2700 entries) includes papers on both extant and fossil fungi. Additional chapters include lichens, fungal spores, and the interactions of fungi with plants, animals, and the geosphere. The final chapter includes a discussion of fossil bacteria and other organisms that are fungal-like in appearance, and known from the fossil record. The book includes more than 475 illustrations, almost all in color, of fossil fungi, line drawings, and portraits of people, as well as a glossary of more than 700 mycological and paleontological terms that will be useful to both biologists and geoscientists. First book devoted to the whole spectrum of the fossil record of fungi, ranging from Proterozoic fossils to the role of fungi in rock weathering Detailed discussion of how fossil fungi are preserved and studied Extensive bibliography with more than 2000 entries Where possible, fungal fossils are placed in a modern systematic context Each chapter within the systematic treatment of fungal lineages introduced with an easy-to-understand presentation of the main characters that define extant members Extensive glossary of more than 700 entries that define both biological, geological, and mycological terminology

Download or read book An Introduction to Plant Fossils written by Christopher J. Cleal and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an excellent practical introduction to the study of plant fossils, and is written for those who have had little previous experience of this type of palaeontology. The text summarizes the groups of plants occurring as fossils and describes how best to investigate them. It explains modern research techniques that reveal details of anatomical and reproductive characteristics, and the features for identifying commonly found plant fossils. The approaches for interpreting these fossils are assessed, and the book highlights how such methods are employed by palaeobotanists to increase our knowledge of plant evolution, palaeoecology, palaeogeography and stratigraphy. The book discusses how the science of palaeobotany has developed over the last 300 years, with examples and illustrations from a global range of plant groups. It is valuable for students on introductory or intermediate courses in palaeobotany, palaeontology and plant evolution, and for amateurs looking for help in studying plant fossils.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Fossil Botany, Vol. 1 The third edition of these "Studies" has needed quite as thorough a revision as the second, owing to the continued advance of the subject during the last dozen years. In the earlier chapters of the present volume, however, the changes have been comparatively small; further information is given, for example, on the leaves of Calamites (p. 36) and the roots of Sphenophyllum (p. 87), but perhaps the most important addition, up to Chapter VII., is the new account of the remarkable Lycopodineous fructification, Mazocarpon, described by Dr. Margaret Benson (p. 213). When we reach the Ferns the alterations become considerable. The true nature of the root-zone in Psaronius is now cleared up, thanks to the work of the late Count Solms-Laubach (p. 274). The geological history of the Osmundaceae has been successfully traced by Kidston and Gwynne-Vaughan, and a summary of their important results is given (p. 278). The rapid growth of our knowledge of the Primofilices, owing to the investigations of Paul Bertrand, Kidston and Gordon, has rendered necessary a complete recasting of Chapter IX. (Botryopteridaceae), with very considerable additions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
