Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is not often that a work can literally rewrite a person's view of a subject. And this is exactly what Rudwick's book should do for many paleontologists' view of the history of their own field."—Stephen J. Gould, Paleobotany and Palynology "Rudwick has not merely written the first book-length history of palaeontology in the English language; he has written a very intelligent one. . . . His accounts of sources are rounded and organic: he treats the structure of arguments as Cuvier handled fossil bones."—Roy S. Porter, History of Science

Download or read book Basic Palaeontology written by Michael J. Benton and published by Prentice Hall. This book was released on 1997 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Palaeontology, a fundamental topic in geology and evolutionary biology, has undergone exciting and rapid change in recent years. Contemporary debates on mass extinctions and the origin of life have had profound implications for our understanding of how life evolved. Basic Palaeontology is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to palaeontology. With in-depth analysis of basic principles and all the main fossil groups, this fully illustrated text presents new and exciting research on the origin and history of life. The text focuses on traditional topics such as marine invertebrate palaeontology and biostratigraphy, but also provides unique and unparalleled taxonomic coverage from microfossils to plants and vertebrates. Key Features include: - Covers important recent developments in macroevolution and mass extinctions - A strong focus on a statistical and quantitative approach, emphasising the vital importance of both applications and theory - Full coverage of the evolution of vertebrates and plants - Over 600 highly detailed illustrations - An accessible format with extensive boxed material and bullet points Basic Palaeontology is essential reading for undergraduate students of geology, environmental science and biology, taking courses in palaeontology, palaeobiology, palaeoecology or evolution, and will also be of interest to all those who have an interest in the origin of life and human evolution. Michael J Benton is a Reader in the Department of Geology, University of Bristol, UK. David A T Harper is a Lecturer in Geology at the Department of Geology, University College Galway, Ireland.

Download or read book A Manual Of Palaeontology With A General Introduction On The Principles Of The Palaeontology written by Henry Alleyne Nicholson and published by Daya Books. This book was released on 1995 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is an attempt, for the benefit of the students of Geology as also the common readers, to furnish an elaborate account of the leading principles and facts of the vast and ever increasing science of Palaeontology. The work includes all the essential facts coming under Palaeontology as a department of science, sufficiently distinct to stand alone and yet most closely connected with the sciences of Zoology and Botany on the one land and with Geology on the other. The first part of the book furnishers a general account of the principles of Palaeontology. In the second part, the past history of the animal life, technically known as Palaeozoology has been given in details. More space has been allotted to the Invertebrata group in this section than to the Vertebrata group, upon the ground that palaeontological students are, as a rule, much more largely concerned with the former than the latter. An attempt has also been made to give, as far as possible, brief and general definitions of the more important and widely distributed families of Invertebrata as well as, to a more limited extent, of the Vertebrata. The third part of the book gives a brief and very general view of Palaeobotany or the past history of the vegetable kingdom. This is a useful book for the students and common readers in search of knowledge on the subject.
