Book Synopsis The Evolution and Extinction of the Dinosaurs by : David E. Fastovsky
Download or read book The Evolution and Extinction of the Dinosaurs written by David E. Fastovsky and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-02-07 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2005 edition of The Evolution and Extinction of the Dinosaurs is a unique, comprehensive treatment of this fascinating group of organisms. It is a detailed survey of dinosaur origins, their diversity, and their eventual extinction. The book can easily be used as a teaching textbook for a class, but it is also written as a series of readable, entertaining essays covering important and timely topics appealing to non-specialists and all dinosaur enthusiasts: birds as 'living dinosaurs', the new feathered dinosaurs from China, 'warm-bloodedness'. Along the way, the reader learns about dinosaur functional morphology, physiology, and systematics using cladistic methodology - in short, how professional paleontologists and dinosaur experts go about their work, and why they find it so rewarding. The book is spectacularly illustrated by John Sibbick, a world-famous illustrator of dinosaurs, commissioned exclusively for this book.
Book Synopsis The Era of Earth Where Dinosaurs Ruled by : Siddhesh Chindarkar
Download or read book The Era of Earth Where Dinosaurs Ruled written by Siddhesh Chindarkar and published by SNC. This book was released on 2023-05-11 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dinosaurs were a group of reptiles that lived on Earth millions of years ago. They were some of the largest animals to ever roam the planet, with some species growing to be as tall as a two-story building. Dinosaurs first appeared during the Mesozoic Era, which is sometimes referred to as the "Age of Reptiles." This era lasted from about 252 million years ago to 66 million years ago and was divided into three periods: the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. During the Triassic period, the earliest dinosaurs evolved from smaller reptiles. These early dinosaurs were not very large, and they were not the dominant animals on Earth at the time. However, during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, dinosaurs became much larger and more diverse.

Book Synopsis Riddle of the Feathered Dragons by : Alan Feduccia
Download or read book Riddle of the Feathered Dragons written by Alan Feduccia and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 631 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Inspired by the spectacular discoveries of the past two decades from the Age of Reptiles in China, Riddle of the Feathered Dragons explores how these miraculous fossils have transformed the contentious arena of bird and dinosaur evolution. Aside from being the most comprehensive discussion of these avian and associated discoveries, the author delves into the world of investigative journalism to expose the darker side of the world of fossil birds and dinosaurs. The book exposes the massive unfounded speculation that has characterized the field of vertebrate paleontology and published extensively in the world's most prestigious journals, including everything from supposed dinosaur protein to so-called feathered dinosaurs. The book questions the validity of the foundational tenets of the now "unquestionable orthodoxy" of bird and dinosaur evolution, including bird origins, feathered dinosaurs, flight origin from the ground-up and hot-blooded dinosaurs and their proteins. It exposes how speculation has gone far beyond the ability of the currently available evidence to yield answers. The author concludes that birds are best defined by a more traditional definition of the possession of feathers and avian flight architecture, that the so-called "feathered dinosaurs" are most likely derived avians, and that flight clearly originated from the trees-down, from ancestors that antedated the dinosaurs, rather than a direct linear descent"--

Book Synopsis The Rise of Birds by : Sankar Chatterjee
Download or read book The Rise of Birds written by Sankar Chatterjee and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most comprehensive account of the origin of ancient and modern birds—the "living dinosaurs." A small set of fossilized bones discovered almost thirty years ago led paleontologist Sankar Chatterjee on a lifelong quest to understand their place in our understanding of the history of life. They were clearly the bones of something unusual, a bird-like creature that lived long, long ago in the age of dinosaurs. He called it Protoavis, and the animal that owned these bones quickly became a contender for the title of "oldest known bird." In 1997, Chatterjee published his findings in the first edition of The Rise of Birds. Since then Chatterjee and his colleagues have searched the world for more transitional bird fossils. And they have found them. This second edition of The Rise of Birds brings together a treasure trove of fossils that tell us far more about the evolution of birds than we once dreamed possible. With no blind allegiance to what he once thought he knew, Chatterjee devours the new evidence and lays out the most compelling version of the birth and evolution of the avian form ever attempted. He takes us from Texas to Spain, China, Mongolia, Madagascar, Australia, Antarctica, and Argentina. He shows how, in the "Cretaceous Pompeii" of China, he was able to reconstruct the origin and evolution of flight of early birds from the feathered dinosaurs that lay among thousands of other amazing fossils. Chatterjee takes us to where long-hidden bird fossils dwell. His compelling, occasionally controversial, revelations—accompanied by spectacular illustrations—are a must-read for anyone with a serious interest in the evolution of "the feathered dinosaurs," from vertebrate paleontologists and ornithologists to naturalists and birders.
