Isle of Wight natural history and archaeology

The Isle of Wight Flora, by Colin Pope, Lorna Snow & David Allen (modern flora). Published 2003. The Isle of Wight, a mere 147 miles in area, is, for it's size, remarkably rich in plants. The maritime location of the Island, off the south coast of Britain, ensures a climate without extremes. The Island's varied geology gives rise to a range of landscapes that is unique - a microcosm of southern England. The Island is home to a suprisingly large number of scarce plants, but it is the sheer variety of habitats in close proximity - woodland, saltmarsh, sand dune, shingle cliffs, woodlands, heathland and downland - that makes the flora so special.		£35.00 Hardback p&p £5

Principles of Geology by Charles Lyell One of the key works in the nineteenth-century encounters between science and scripture. Charles Lyell's Principles of Geology (1830-33) sought to explain the geological state of the modern earth by considering the long term effects of observable natural phenomena. Written with clarity and a dazzling interlectual passion, it's both a seminal work of modern geology and a compelling precursor to Darwinism, speculating on radical changes in climate and geography across the ages and explaning the evidence for the progressive development of life. A profound influence on the evolutionary theory, Principles of Geology also captured the imagination of contemporaries such as Melville, Emerson, Tennyson and George Eliot, transforming science with its depiction of the powerful forces that shape the natural world.		£14.99
Introducing Geology - A Guide To The World of Rocks by Graham Park Our world is made of rock. Although much of the earth's surface is covered by vegitation, concrete or water, if one digs down far enough, solid rock will always be found. Those who live in a landscape where rock outcrops are obvious will have wondered about the kind of rocks they are looking at and how they came to be where they are now. This introductory book explains in simple terms what geology can tell us about the world. Many objects of great beauty and which excite our curiosity, such as crystals or fossils, are to be found by examining rocks. Those searching for and examinig such objects gain more by knowing how and when they originated. In particular, fossils, whilst interesting in themselves, tell us from their context in geological time of biological evolution and these clues give us an insight into the origins of life on earth. Copiously illustrated, this book is intended for those whose interest in geology has been awakened, perhaps by media coverage of eathquakes or dinosaurs, and want to know more. Technical terms are kept to a minimum and are explained in a glossary. Graham Park is a professional geologist living in the north of Scotland. He hopes that this book will have the same impact on others that his first reading about geology had on him by kindling a lifelong fascination with his subject.		£9.99

He takes dinosaurs out of their static, stately, museum portraits and puts them in motion, using numerous drawings and charts to illustrate his clearly written text.		£17.99
The Lost Dinosaurs of Egypt by William Nothdurft with Josh Smith In 1911, Dr Ernst Stromer led an expeidtion to Egypt's Bahariya Oasis in the Sahara and discovered four new species of dinosaurs, including the Tyrannosaurus rex-size predator Spinosaurus. But tragically, all his work was incinerated in 1944 during the Allied bombing of Munich. In 1999, Josh Smith, then a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, took his brillant, precocious team to Egypt under the direction of world-renowned paleontologist Dr Peter Dodson and blundered onto an archaeological site that yeilded awe-inspiring results: all of Dr Stromer's early findings, and also entriely new genus of dinosaur, Paralititan Stromeri, one of the largest creatures ever to inhabit the planet.

Dinosaur Eggs and Babies edited by Kenneth Carpenter, Karl F. Hirsch & John R. Horner Although it is over 100 years since O. C. Marsh first recognized a baby dinosaur, that of the saurapod Pleurocoelus, renewed interest stems from the discovery of a nesting ground in western Montana in 1978, and the realization that the study of baby dinosaur bones, eggs and embryonic remains can tell us a great deal about dinosaur behaviour, reproduction and physiology. This is the first book solely devoted to this topic and reviews, in scientific detail, our present state of knowledge about this exciting area of paleontology. Chapters in the book discuss all aspects of the science including the occurance of eggs, nests and baby skeletons: descriptive osteology of juvenile skeletons; comparative history of juvenile bone; analyses of eggs and eggshells; paleoenvironments of nesting sites; nesting behaviour; and developmental growth of baby dinosaurs.		£30.00 p&p £2
The Beginning of The Age of Dinosaurs- Faunal changes across the Triassic-Jurassic boundary edited by Kevin Padian Around 210 million years ago, life on earth experienced sweeping changes. Many archaic reptiles and mammalian predecessors became extinct and were replaced by dinosaurs, pterosaurs, crocodiles, turtles, mammals and essentially all of the major modern vertebrate groups except birds. This period of change, which took place over a period of approximately 5 to 10 million years, ushered in the beginning of the 'Age of Dinosaurs', a period lasting 160 milliuon years to the end of the Cretaceous 65 million years ago. In the past decade, paleontologists have come to know a great deal more about this crucial interval of time. New discoveries, ideas and insights from scientists in many related disciplines have created new paradigms about the beginning of the 'Age of Dinosaurs'. What were the mammals that preceded the dinosaur like? How did dinosaurs originate and what do we know of their early history? Was their ascent tied to evolutionary innovations, global climatic and ecological changes, or just chance factors? How do paleontologists decide about the evidence preserved in the fossil record and what areas now require major thought and reevaluation? In this book, 31 specialists in the paleontology of this era consider these and other questions related to Late Triassic and Early Jurassic times - the beginning of the 'Age of Dinosaurs', it's fauna, climate, stratigraphic relationships and major evolutionary changes. The book is divided into sections on background, Late Triassic taxa and faunas, changes across the boundary, Early Jurassic taxa and faunas and major macroevolutionary patterns. This comprehensive volume is richly illustrated and is intended for students and professionals in the area of paleontology, evolutionary biology, geology and vertebrate zoology. Introductory and summary chapters are provided to acquaint the nonspecialist with the issues and the setting of this interval of time in which the ancestral components of the modern fauna, as well as the Dinosauria, first appeared to rule the earth.

Dinosaur Tracks and Other Fossil Footprints of Europe by Martin Lockley & Christian Meyer The long and distinguished tradition of traking dinosaurs and other extinct animals in Europe dates back to the 1830's. Yet this venerable tradition of scientific activity cannot compair in magnitude and scope with the unprecedented spate of discovery and documentation of the last few years. Now, following on the heels of his Dinosaur Tracks and Other Fossil Footprints of the Western United States, Martin Lockley teams up with Christian Meyer to present an up-to-date syntheis of the recent findings in the field of European fossil footprints. Drawing extensively on their own reasearch results from studies in Britain, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain and elsewhere, the authors create a dynamic picture of mammal, reptile, bird and amphibian track-makers through more than 300 million years of vertebrate evolution, placed in the context of Europe's changing ancient environments. Beginning with an introduction to and history of the European tracking traditon. Dinosaur Tracks and Other Fossil Footprints of Europe charts a broad path through the Paleozoic evolutionary history of predinosaurian vertebrates to the Mesozoic rise of the dinosaurs and their eventual disappearance at the end of the Cretaceous. The survey continues into the age of mammals and birds, ending with the cave art and footprints of out Paleolithic ancestors.		£28.50
Dawn of the Dinosaurs - Life in the Triassic by Nicholas Fraser Illustrated by Douglas Henderson Before the age of the dinosaurs there was an age in earth's history know as the Triassic. It was a world of truly fantastic creatures, a genetic stew of the ancient and the modern. Although a time traveler might find the landscape strange, it was during this time the earth took its first step toward the creation of modern ecosystems. In a thrilling collaboration of words and images, Nicholas Fraser and Douglas Henderson bring the riches of the Triassic vividly to life within the pages of this book. 240 million years ago, earth had one large continent and no polar icecaps. Most of the life forms that has dominated the planet were gone, killed off by an extinction event the likes of which the planet would not see again for another 185 million years, Among the survivirs was a strange group of creatures known as therapsids or 'mammal like reptiles'. Before they die out therapsids will have given rise to mammals. In the early Triassic groups of animals emerge that will evolve into crocodiles and alligators, lizards and snakes. By the middle of the Triassic, other kinds of animals have become abundant and diverse. These are four-legged creatures with strange sounding names like rhynchosaur, phytosaur, rauisuchid, ornithosuchid and traversodontid. As diverse and wonderful as they are, every one of these groups will die out by the end of the Triassic - helped along perhaps by some catastrophic event. As this age ends, new groups that will dominate the planet at a later begin to appear: mammals; turtles; crocodiles; salamanders and frogs; pterosaurs and yes, the next big players on the earth stage, the dinosaurs. A consummate weaving of imagination and science, Dawn of the Dinosaurs is a book that everyone curious about the life of the past will find enthralling.		£29.00 p&p £5 Hardback

The Search for Dinosaurs by Dougal Dixon. When we think of dinosaurs we may well imagine terrifying. twenty-metre high beasts, such as T rex, probably because these images are found in books and films. But how much do we really know about dinosaur? Only from the work of palaeontologists, painstakingly piecing together dinosaur skeletons, can we see how fabulouse these creatures were. The facts behind the discoveries of dinosaur remains are as exciting as the finds themselves. For instance, we learn of the bitter rivalry between US palaeontologists Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh in the 19th century and how, in the 1980's the FBI mounted a dawn raid to confiscate the biggest T rex skeleton ever found.

Evolution (second edition), by Colin Patterson		£6.99
The Great Dinosaur Hunters and Their Discoveries by Edwin H Colbert It must have been an astonishing revelation. In England, in the 1820's, fossil hunters first discovered evidence of gigantic extinct reptiles which had roamed the earth millions of years before the appearence of man - and whose existance had not even been guessed at. Richard Owen, the great English anatomist and paleontologist, coined the term 'Dinosauria' (terrible lizards) to describe these mysterious creatures whose fossilized remains had been discovered in the Mesozic rocks of southern England. In this fascinating, anecdotal and lavisly illustrated volume, Edwin Colbert, a former Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History and a noted dinosaur hunter in his own right, tells the fascinating story of dinosaur research, from its beginnings in 19th century England to an Arctic expedition in 1960. Along the way, he recounts the exploits and accomplishments of a host of dedicated (often obsessed) researchers. Although brimming with scientific information and historical data, the informal conversational style of this book makes it a pleasure to read. It will intrigue anyone with an interest in dinosaurs, paleontolgy, or a scientific adventure story replete with unforgettable characters and far-reaching implications.		£9.95
The Mind in the Cave by David Lewis-Williams The breathtakingly beautiful art created deep inside the caves of western Europe in the late Ice Age provokes awe and wonder in equal measure. What do these animals and symbols, depicted on the walls of caves such as Lascaux, Chauvet and Altamira, tell us about the nature of the ancestral mind? How did these images spring, sophisticated and fully formed, seemingly from nowhere into human history? The Mind in the Cave puts forward the most plausible explanation yet proposed for the origins of image-making and art. David Lewis-Williams skilfully interweaves a lifetime of anthropological research with the most recent neurological insights to offer a convincing account of how we became human and, in the process, began to make art. This is a masterful piece of work, casting light on the darknest mysteries of our earliest ancestors and on the nature of our own consciousness and experience.		£12.95

The Sixth Extinction - Biodiversity and it's Survival by Richard Leakey There have been at least five occasions when nearly two-thirds of living species dissapeared from the face of the earth. These were natural disasters. But today humans stand alone, in dubious distinction, among earth's species: homo sapiens possess the ability to destroy entire species at will, to trigger the sixth extinction on the history of life. We are now, Richard Leakey believes, on the verge of a man-made disaster, caused by the relentless expansion and limitless appetites of human beings around the world. If we continue to destroy the environment, especially the tropical rainforest, half the world's species will become extince early in the next century. Richard Leakey, one of the world's most famous palaeo-anthropologists, believes that only if we learn from our evolutionary past, and critically examine our present, can we avert the Sixth Extinction.		£7.99 paperback
