Book Description
Plunged way back into the past, Rain, Emily, and the rest of the Dinosaur Explorers, continue to make their way back to the present, but first they must take the plunge and submerge themselves into the prehistoric oceans. What they find is that the weightlessness of the water caters to larger creatures, sometimes bigger than dinosaurs themselves! Here they must dodge carnivorous ancient dolphins, elude massive crocodile creatures, and essentially do their best to survive. But it’s also possible that they may even find some undersea friends. One thing is for certain, the Dinosaur Explorers are in way over their heads! Will they sink or swim?

Pages : 187
Book Description
STEM-inspired comics adventures drawn in a full-color manga-style reminiscent of Dragonball Z, with special illustrated pages devoted to science facts. The Dinosaur Explorers—Rain, Emily, Sean, and Stone, along with Dr. Da Vinci, his assistant, Diana, and their robot helper, Starz-- were all flung back in time by Dr. Da Vinci’s particle transmitter, and the solar-power device can only bring them back to the present a few centuries at a time, giving them all a perfect opportunity to explore the past—provided they can actually survive it. They now find themselves back in the Jurassic, and they quickly find it’s no walk in the park (Get it?) (Sorry.). This is the grand age of dinosaurs, but also the time when the first non-dinosaur animals begin to stretch their wings!

In the late Cretaceous period, many animals began to take wing, and dinosaurs were no exception. Fly high with our dino-“soar” friends as well as Rain, Emily, and the rest of Dr. Da Vinci’s Dinosaur Explorers crew as they find out just how these flying creatures stay afloat! But these time travelers have to be careful--these aren’t friendly skies they’re flying in; the lord of the skies is an expert predator with a prehistoric eagle eye. It will take luck and ingenuity to survive this era and make it one step closer to making it home.

Introduction to Paleobiology and the Fossil Record
Author: Michael J. Benton
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118685407
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1001
Book Description
This book presents a comprehensive overview of the science of the history of life. Paleobiologists bring many analytical tools to bear in interpreting the fossil record and the book introduces the latest techniques, from multivariate investigations of biogeography and biostratigraphy to engineering analysis of dinosaur skulls, and from homeobox genes to cladistics. All the well-known fossil groups are included, including microfossils and invertebrates, but an important feature is the thorough coverage of plants, vertebrates and trace fossils together with discussion of the origins of both life and the metazoans. All key related subjects are introduced, such as systematics, ecology, evolution and development, stratigraphy and their roles in understanding where life came from and how it evolved and diversified. Unique features of the book are the numerous case studies from current research that lead students to the primary literature, analytical and mathematical explanations and tools, together with associated problem sets and practical schedules for instructors and students. “..any serious student of geology who does not pick this book off the shelf will be putting themselves at a huge disadvantage. The material may be complex, but the text is extremely accessible and well organized, and the book ought to be essential reading for palaeontologists at undergraduate, postgraduate and more advanced levels—both in Britain as well as in North America.” Falcon-Lang, H., Proc. Geol. Assoc. 2010 “...this is an excellent introduction to palaeontology in general. It is well structured, accessibly written and pleasantly informative .....I would recommend this as a standard reference text to all my students without hesitation.” David Norman Geol Mag 2010 Companion website This book includes a companion website at: www.blackwellpublishing.com/paleobiology The website includes: · An ongoing database of additional Practical’s prepared by the authors · Figures from the text for downloading · Useful links for each chapter · Updates from the authors

Missouri Landscapes

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Geology
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
"In this magnificent book, Oliver Schuchard provides more than sixty-five exquisite black-and-white photographs spanning his thirty-eight years of photography. In addition, he explains the aesthetic rationale and techniques he used in order to produce these photographs, emphasizing the profound differences between, yet necessary interdependence of, craft and content. Although Schuchard believes that craft is important, he maintains that the idea behind the photograph and the emotional content of the image are equally vital and are, in fact, functions of one another. The author also shares components of his life experience that he believes helped shape his development as an artist and a teacher. He chose the splendid photographs included in this book from among nearly 5,000 negatives that had been exposed all over the world, from Missouri to Maine, California, Alaska, Colorado, France, Newfoundland, and Hawaii, among many other locations. Approximately 250 negatives survived the initial review, and each of those was printed before a final decision was made on which photographs were to be featured in the book. The final choices are representative of Schuchard's work and serve to substantiate his belief that craft, concept, and self must be fully understood and carefully melded for a good photograph to occur. This amazing work by award-winning photographer Oliver Schuchard will be treasured by professional and amateur photographers alike, as well as by anyone who simply enjoys superb photography."--Publishers website.
