Book Synopsis Dinosaurs by : Mary Higby Schweitzer
Download or read book Dinosaurs written by Mary Higby Schweitzer and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 627 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook introduces research on dinosaurs by describing the science behind how we know what we know about dinosaurs. A wide range of topics is covered, from fossils and taphonomy to dinosaur physiology, evolution, and extinction. In addition, sedimentology, paleo-tectonics, and non-dinosaurian Mesozoic life are discussed. There is a special opportunity to capitalize on the enthusiasm for dinosaurs that students bring to classrooms to foster a deeper engagement in all sciences. Students are encouraged to synthesize information, employ critical thinking, construct hypotheses, devise methods to test these hypotheses, and come to new defensible conclusions, just as paleontologists do. Key Features Clear and easy to read dinosaur text with well-defined terminology Over 600 images and diagrams to illustrate concepts and aid learning Reading objectives for each chapter section to guide conceptual learning and encourage active reading Companion website (teachingdinosaurs.com) that includes supporting materials such as in-class activities, question banks, lists of suggested specimens, and more to encourage student participation and active learning Ending each chapter with a specific "What We Don’t Know" section to encourage student curiosity Related Titles Singer, R.

Book Synopsis King of the Dinosaur Hunters by : Lowell Dingus
Download or read book King of the Dinosaur Hunters written by Lowell Dingus and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year millions of museum visitors marvel at the skeletons of dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures discovered by John Bell Hatcher whose life is every bit as fascinating as the mighty bones and fossils he unearthed. Hatcher helped discover and mount much of the Carnegie Museum's world famous, 150 million-year-old skeleton of Diplodocus, whose skeleton has captivated our collective imaginations for over a century. But that wasn’t all Hatcher discovered. During a now legendary collecting campaign in Wyoming, Hatcher discovered a 66 million-year-old horned dinosaur, Torosaurus, as well as the first scientifically significant set of skeletons from its evolutionary cousin, Triceratops. Refusing to restrict his talents to enormous dinosaurs, he also discovered the first significant sample of mammal teeth from our relatives that lived 66 million years ago. The teeth might have been minute, but this extraordinary discovery filled a key gap in humanity’s own evolutionary history.Nearly one hundred and twenty-five years after Hatcher’s monumental “hunts” ended, acclaimed paleontologist Lowell Dingus invites us to revisit Hatcher’s captivating expeditions and marvel at this real-life Indiana Jones and the vital role he played in our understanding of paleontology.

Book Synopsis Dinosaur Hunters by : David A. E. Spalding
Download or read book Dinosaur Hunters written by David A. E. Spalding and published by Prima Lifestyles. This book was released on 1993 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dinosaur Hunters takes the reader on an unforgettable journey across the landscape of time, from Mongolia to Montana, from the beginning of the scientific search in the 1800s to the latest discoveries surrounding the theories of dinosaur evolution, including the question of whether or not the dinosaurs ever really became extinct. This is the human drama of the eccentrics and the professionals who hunted the fossils and who, to this day, shape our understanding of the creatures that dominated the planet for millions of years. Just as the dinosaurs themselves excite our imagination, the story of their discoverers fascinates and enlightens. Dinosaur Hunters is no dry recounting of scientific facts, but rather the behind-the-scenes truth about the passions, prejudices, and obsessions that are all a part of the process of discovery. This thrilling story of the past one hundred fifty years of discoveries in the field and in the back rooms of museums belongs in every dinosaur lover's library!
Book Synopsis The Fossil Hunter by : Shelley Emling
Download or read book The Fossil Hunter written by Shelley Emling and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when women were excluded from science, a young girl made a discovery that marked the birth of paleontology and continues to feed the debate about evolution to this day. Mary Anning was only twelve years old when, in 1811, she discovered the first dinosaur skeleton--of an ichthyosaur--while fossil hunting on the cliffs of Lyme Regis, England. Until Mary's incredible discovery, it was widely believed that animals did not become extinct. The child of a poor family, Mary became a fossil hunter, inspiring the tongue-twister, "She Sells Sea Shells by the Seashore." She attracted the attention of fossil collectors and eventually the scientific world. Once news of the fossils reached the halls of academia, it became impossible to ignore the truth. Mary's peculiar finds helped lay the groundwork for Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, laid out in his On the Origin of Species. Darwin drew on Mary's fossilized creatures as irrefutable evidence that life in the past was nothing like life in the present. A story worthy of Dickens, The Fossil Hunter chronicles the life of this young girl, with dirt under her fingernails and not a shilling to buy dinner, who became a world-renowned paleontologist. Dickens himself said of Mary: "The carpenter's daughter has won a name for herself, and deserved to win it." Here at last, Shelley Emling returns Mary Anning, of whom Stephen J. Gould remarked, is "probably the most important unsung (or inadequately sung) collecting force in the history of paleontology," to her deserved place in history.
