Wonderful life : [electronic resource] : The Burgess Shale and the nature of history. by Gould, Stephen Jay.;

High in the Canadian Rockies is a small limestone quarry formed 530 million years ago called the Burgess Shale. It hold the remains of an ancient sea where dozens of strange creatures lived -- a forgotten corner of evolution preserved in awesome detail. In this book Stephen Jay Gould explores what the Burgess Shale tells us about evolution and the nature of history.Electronic reproduction.

The book of life / by Gould, Stephen Jay.;

Includes bibliographical references (page 21).A new introduction: A flawed work in progress / Stephen Jay Gould -- Reconstructing (and deconstructing) the past / Stephen Jay Gould -- Life and time / Michael Benton -- Foundations: life in the oceans / J. John Sepkoski, Jr. -- The rise of the fishes / Michael Benton -- Four feet on the ground / Michael Benton -- Dinosaur summer / Michael Benton -- Victors by default / Christine Janis -- The primates' progress / Peter Andrews and Christopher Stringer.This book uses art and science to tell the story of life on earth. The text provides thorough understanding of the latest research and is accompanied by paintings prepared especially for this book. Never before has our planet's evolution been so clearly explained. History is marked by disaster. The book of life explains how mammals, having survived at least one of these disasters -- the impact of a massive comet -- luckily inherited the earth. Next came the rise of modern humans, who would shape the world as no creature has. As this history unfolds, illustrations allow us to observe climate changes, tectonic plate movement, the spread of plant life, and the death of the dinosaurs. We discover the chains of animal survival, the causes and consequences of adaptation, and finally the environmental impact of human life.

Boucot -- An interview with David M. Raup / edited by David Sepkoski and David M. Raup -- Paleontology in the twenty-first century / David Jablonski -- Punctuations and paradigms : has paleobiology been through a paradigm shift? / Michael Ruse.The Paleobiological Revolution chronicles the incredible ascendance of the once-maligned science of paleontology to the vanguard of a field. With the establishment of the modern synthesis in the 1940s and the pioneering work of George Gaylord Simpson, Ernst Mayr, and Theodosius Dobzhansky, as well as the subsequent efforts of Stephen Jay Gould, David Raup, and James Valentine, paleontology became embedded in biology and emerged as paleobiology, a first-rate discipline central to evolutionary studies. Pairing contributions from some of the leading actors of the transformation with overviews from historians and philosophers of science, the essays here capture the excitement of the seismic changes in the discipline. In so doing, David Sepkoski and Michael Ruse harness the energy of the past to call for further study of the conceptual development of modern paleobiology. -- provided by publisher.Electronic reproduction.
