Davidson traces the history of paleontology illustration from the 15th century to the present. She combines discussions of these images as works of representative art with assessments of the artists. The book covers depictions of fossils, restorations of plants and animals, and ecological restorations in painting, drawing, sculpture, and in display restorations such as dioramas. Although the main subject of the book is scientific illustration, it also delves into 'popular' illustrations such as those found in childrens textbooks, popular introductions to paleontology and geology, museum and other public displays, and film. Both a history of science and a history of representation, this is a fascinating exploration of the interactions between art and science.

Imagine an Australian landscape in which Diprotodon optatum roamed - this rhinoceros-sized diprotodon was probably the largest marsupial ever to exist. There was also the awesome Megalania prisca, an enormeous goanna-like carnivore that weighed at least 600 kilos and grew to 5.5 metres long. Even Zaglossus hacketii, an echidna, was the size of a sheep!

Nor has T. rex been ignored by the scientific community, as this new collection amply demonstrates. Scientists explore such questions as why T. rex had such small forelimbs; how the dinosaur moved; what bone pathologies tell us about life in the Cretaceous; and whether T. rex was a predator, a scavenger, or both. There are reports on newly discovered skeletons, on variation and sexual dimorphism, and how the big beasts chewed. The methods used by the contributors to unlock the mysteries of T. rex range from 'old fashioned' stratigraphy to contemporary computer modeling. Together they yield a wealth of new information about one of the dinosaur worlds most famous carnivores. An enclosed CD-ROM presents additional photographic and filmed reconstructions of the mighty beast.

The relentless motion of the earth's crust sometimes joined, sometimes separated, many partners; twice such a union created the landmass of Gondwana. This great southern supercontinent once was home to an unusual array of wildlife. From small jawless fishes and primitive amphibians to dinosaurs, giant lizards, and large flightless birds, the vertebrates of Gondwana have given rise to the unique biotas of Australia and South America today.

Since the first dinosaur bone was discovered in 1903 in coastal Victoria, up to 8 different species of dinosaur have been discovered in this part of Australia. Palaeontologist Thomas Rich describes the arduous but exciting process of a dinosaur dig and the amazing reconstruction that takes place to create a realistic portrait of these creatures from fossil bones. Polar dinosaurs describes the species and behaviour of these Victorian dinosaurs, and contains colour photographs and charts. In addition, there are beautiful colour illustrations of the dinosaurs from famous scientific artists.

Dinosaurs, and legends about them are firmly entrenched in popular culture, where scientific information and our interest in the life of the past most often meet. This book considers dinosaurs as a cultural phenomenon, seen as the interaction of three factorspaleontological discoveries, the cultural interest these discoveries awaken, and the possibilities they offer for commercial exploitation.

Some of the group's members survive to this dayas birds. The theropod/bird connection has been explored in several recent works, but this book presents 17 papers on a variety of other topics.

With the longest necks and tails of all of the dinosaurs, some sauropods were 40 meters in length and weighed upwards of 100,000 kilograms. The popular image of these lumbering giants, placidly consuming ferns, has been greatly revised in recent years by new discoveries and new theories about behavior and physiology. This book presents 21 new studies of the sauropods. Indiana University Press 01 Indiana University Press 04 20051001 UNIREPS 02 21 02 95.00 UNIREPS 07 AU 04 01 20051001
