History of Palaeobotany
Author: A. J. Bowden
Publisher: Geological Society of London
ISBN: 9781862391741
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
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.

Fundamentals of Palaeobotany
Author: Sergei Meyen
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400931514
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 446
Book Description
There have been at least ten English-language textbooks of palaeobotany since D. H. Scott published the first edition of Studies inFossilBotany in 1900. Most have been written by scientists who were primarily botanists by training, and were aimed largely at a readership familiar with living plants. They tended to follow a general pattern of an introductory chapter on preservation of plants as fossils, followed by a systematic treatment, group by group. Only Seward in his Plant Life Through the Ages departed from this pattern in presenting a chronological sequence. In the present book, Meyen breaks with?is tradition. Although having a basically biological approach, he reaches out into all aspects of the history of plant life and the wider implication of its study. Only half of the present work deals sequentially with fossil plant groups, treated systematically. The remainder then explores those topics which most other textbooks have incidentally??e generally either ignored or have only mentioned rather problems of naming and classifying fragmentary plant fossils, their ecology; biogeography and palaeoclimatic significance and the contribution that?ey have made to the understanding of living plant morphology, and of the process of evolution.

Paleobotany
Author: Edith L. Taylor
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 008055783X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1253
Book Description
This book provides up-to-date coverage of fossil plants from Precambrian life to flowering plants, including fungi and algae. It begins with a discussion of geologic time, how organisms are preserved in the rock record, and how organisms are studied and interpreted and takes the student through all the relevant uses and interpretations of fossil plants. With new chapters on additional flowering plant families, paleoecology and the structure of ancient plant communities, fossil plants as proxy records for paleoclimate, new methodologies used in phylogenetic reconstruction and the addition of new fossil plant discoveries since 1993, this book provides the most comprehensive account of the geologic history and evolution of microbes, algae, fungi, and plants through time. - Major revision of a 1993 classic reference - Lavishly illustrated with 1,800 images and user friendly for use by paleobotanists, biologists, geologists and other related scientists - Includes an expanded glossary with an extensive up-to-date bibliography and a comprehensive index - Provides extensive coverage of fungi and other microbes, and major groups of land plants both living and extinct

Systematic and Taxonomic Approaches in Palaeobotany
Author: Robert A. Spicer
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : Classification
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Plant fossils, which provide valuable data for many fields, are usually only poorly preserved and fragmentary remains of the original organism. Their identification is difficult, and their study bedevilled by problems of taxomony and classification never encountered with living plants. This volume contains the papers presented at an international paleobotanical meeting designed to present a complete catalog and description of the varied techniques used in fossil identification and classification. The wide variety of approaches presented here will stimulate further research and provide the necessary information for the application of paleobotanical studies to the more general fields of botany and geology.
