Pterosaurs: From Deep Time The Description: Sure to hold the interest of any reader, the fascinating story of the dragon of the dinosaur world is related by Unwin, who has a gift for telling a good story. Written for the general reader, this is a careful account of the research, analysis, and science, (including reader-friendly notes on various points in the text), with clear discussion of central dinosaur concepts such as archaeology and evolution, and theories as to what brought the dinosaur age to an end. Unwin makes central to his story the people involved in the archaeology and research, their ideas, and how each has contributed to the current understanding of these creatures. The book is based on Unwin`s own research leading to his doctoral dissertation. He is now curator for fossil reptiles and birds of the Museum of Natural History at Humboldt U. in Berlin, Germany.

Wildlife Of Gondwana Description: Originally published by Reed (Australia) in 1993, this volume traces the history of the vertebrate faunas of Gondwana and includes material on fossil discoveries in India. Vickers-Rich (earth sciences, Monash U.) and Rich (vertebrate palaeontology, Museum Victoria) begin with the origins of life before Gondwana coalesced, and then follow the evolution of vertebrates from invertebrate stock through the course of life from primitive fauna fish to advanced mammals and birds. They explain how the vertebrate faunas of each of the Gondwana continents have developed, and investigate the ways in which shifting continental plates and changing climate have shaped the path of vertebrate evolution. Generously illustrated with color photographs, drawings, and paintings. Oversize: 9x13. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknewsCom)...
