Sinossi

Prehistoric Creatures explores the fascinating history of vertebrate animals that roamed the Earth long before humans. Delving into paleontology, it examines the evolutionary adaptations and extinction events that shaped life across different geological periods, including the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic Eras.

 
The book argues the fossil record provides direct evidence for evolutionary processes such as adaptation, and extinction. One intriguing aspect covered is how giant amphibians dominated the Paleozoic Era, showcasing early tetrapod evolution.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with the Paleozoic Era and extending through the Mesozoic Era (the age of dinosaurs) to the Cenozoic Era and the rise of mammals. It integrates Earth Sciences, Geography, Life Sciences, and Biology to provide a comprehensive understanding of these ancient ecosystems.

 
Notably, the book highlights how understanding past extinctions can inform current conservation efforts, particularly in the face of biodiversity loss, since the subtle interplay of environmental factors, competition, and evolutionary adaptations drove the evolution and extinction of these ancient animals.

Curious Species - How Animals...

Whitney Barlow Robles

Can corals build worlds? Do rattlesnakes enchant? What is a raccoon, and what might it know? Animals and the questions they raised thwarted human efforts to master nature during the so-called Enlightenment—a historical moment when rigid classification pervaded the study of natural history, people traded in people, and imperial avarice wrapped its tentacles around the globe. Whitney Barlow Robles makes animals the unruly protagonists of eighteenth-century science through journeys to four spaces and ecological zones: the ocean, the underground, the curiosity cabinet, and the field. Her forays reveal a forgotten lineage of empirical inquiry, one that forced researchers to embrace uncertainty. This tumultuous era in the history of human-animal encounters still haunts modern biologists and ecologists as they who struggle to fathom animals today. 
 
 
  
In an eclectic fusion of history and nature writing, Robles alternates between careful historical investigations and probing personal narratives. These excavations of the past and present of distinct nonhuman creatures reveal the animal foundations of human knowledge and show why tackling our current environmental crisis first requires looking back in time.

Requiem for America's Best Idea...

Michael J. Yochim

In his enthusiastic explorations and fervent writing, Michael J. Yochim "was to Yellowstone what Muir was to Yosemite. . . . Other times, his writing is like that of Edward Abbey, full of passion for the natural world and anger at those who are abusing it." In 2013 Yochim was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). While fighting the disease, he wrote Requiem for America's Best Idea. The book establishes a unique parallel between Yochim's personal struggle with a terminal illness and the impact climate change is having on the national parks—the treasured wilderness that he loved and to which he dedicated his life. 
 
 
 
Yochim explains how climate change is already impacting the vegetation, wildlife, and the natural conditions in Olympic, Grand Canyon, Glacier, Yellowstone, and Yosemite National Parks. A poignant and thought-provoking work, Requiem for America's Best Idea investigates the interactions between people and nature and the world that can inspire and destroy them.
