Paleontology and Evolution -...

Mike Crawford

This book combo brings the prehistoric world to life through the study of ancient plants, animals, and climates. This compelling volume reveals how Earth’s long and complex history has shaped life as we know it—and how fossils, sediments, and ice cores serve as the time machines of science.
Begin with Paleobotany, the study of fossilized plants, and uncover how forests once grew where deserts now lie. Through preserved leaves, pollen, and wood, scientists reconstruct past ecosystems, trace plant evolution, and discover how vegetation adapted to shifting environments over millions of years.
Next, delve into Paleozoology, which focuses on the remains of ancient animals—from dinosaurs and mammoths to tiny marine creatures. Learn how skeletal remains, footprints, and fossilized behavior reveal evolutionary changes, predator-prey relationships, extinction events, and the rise of new species over geological time.
Finally, explore Paleoclimatology, the science of past climates. By analyzing tree rings, ice cores, and ocean sediments, researchers piece together Earth’s shifting temperatures, atmospheric conditions, and major climate events. This field is essential for understanding long-term climate cycles and their influence on both extinction and evolution.
Together, these disciplines create a vivid picture of Earth’s ancient biosphere, showing how life, land, and climate have evolved in tandem over hundreds of millions of years. Ideal for students, educators, and history-of-science enthusiasts, this volume opens a window into the deep past and its relevance to today’s environmental challenges.

Love for the Land - Lessons from...

Brooks Lamb

Love for the Land explores the power and potential of people-place relationships. Through clear and compelling prose, it elevates the virtues of imagination, affection, and fidelity—concepts promoted by farmer-writer Wendell Berry—and shows how they motivate small- and mid-scale farmers to care for the land, even in the face of adversity. Paying particular attention to farmland loss from suburban sprawl, rampant agricultural consolidation, and, for farmers of color, racial injustice, Brooks Lamb reckons with the harsh realities that these farmers face. 
 
 
  
Drawing from in-depth interviews and hands-on experiences in two changing rural communities, he shares stories and sacrifices from dozens of farmers, local leaders, agricultural service providers, and land conservationists. Lamb's rural roots and farming background enable him to cultivate honest, trusting connections with the farmers he engages, yielding raw and powerful insights. Time and again, compelling evidence reveals that stewardship virtues encourage people to live and act as devoted caretakers. 
 
 
  
With a refreshing, accessible, and engaging approach, Lamb argues that these resilient and often overlooked farmers show rural and urban people alike a way forward, one that serves people, places, and the planet. That path is rooted in love for the land.
