Bernissart Dinosaurs and Early Cretaceous Terrestrial Ecosystems
Indiana University Press 2012; US$ 74.99In 1878, the first complete dinosaur skeleton was discovered in a coal mine in Bernissart, Belgium. Iguanodon, first described by Gideon Mantell on the basis of fragments discovered in England in 1824, was initially reconstructed as an iguana-like reptile or a heavily built, horned quadruped. However, the Bernissart skeleton changed all that. The... more...
Megafauna
Indiana University Press 2013; US$ 55.99More than 10,000 years ago spectacularly large mammals roamed the pampas and jungles of South America. This book tells the story of these great beasts during and just after the Pleistocene, the geological epoch marked by the great ice ages. Megafauna describes the history and way of life of these animals, their comings and goings, and what befell... more...
Rereading the Fossil Record
University of Chicago Press 2012; US$ 44.00Although fossils have provided some of the most important evidence for evolution, the discipline of paleontology has not always had a central place in evolutionary biology. Beginning in Darwin’s day, and for much of the twentieth century, paleontologists were often regarded as mere fossil collectors by many evolutionary biologists, their attempts... more...
Stratigraphic Paleobiology
University of Chicago Press 2012; US$ 30.00Whether the fossil record should be read at face value or whether it presents a distorted view of the history of life is an argument seemingly as old as many fossils themselves. In the late 1700s, Georges Cuvier argued for a literal interpretation, but in the early 1800s, Charles Lyell’s gradualist view of the earth’s history required... more...
Dinosaur Paleobiology
Wiley 2012; US$ 149.95The study of dinosaurs has been experiencing a remarkable renaissance over the past few decades. Scientific understanding of dinosaur anatomy, biology, and evolution has advanced to such a degree that paleontologists often know more about 100-million-year-old dinosaurs than many species of living organisms. This book provides a contemporary review... more...
New Perspectives on Horned Dinosaurs
Indiana University Press 2010; US$ 94.99Easily distinguished by the horns and frills on their skulls, ceratopsians were one of the most successful of all dinosaurs. This volume presents a broad range of cutting-edge research on the functional biology, behavior, systematics, paleoecology, and paleogeography of the horned dinosaurs, and includes descriptions of newly identified species. more...
The Proterozoic Biosphere
Cambridge University Press 1992; US$ 127.00First published in 1992, The Proterozoic Biosphere was the first major study of the paleobiology of the Proterozoic Earth. more...
Pleistocene History of the Lower Thames Valley

Benthic Foraminiferal Biostratigraphy of the South Caribbean Region
Cambridge University Press 1994; US$ 74.00Around 1000 species of benthic foraminifera from the classic southern Caribbean region are presented. more...
Evolution
Columbia University Press 2007; US$ 31.99Over the past twenty years, paleontologists have made tremendous fossil discoveries, including fossils that mark the growth of whales, manatees, and seals from land mammals and the origins of elephants, horses, and rhinos. Today there exists an amazing diversity of fossil humans, suggesting we walked upright long before we acquired large brains,... more...
