Описание: Dinosaurs are endlessly fascinating to people of every age, from the youngest child who enjoys learning the tongue-twisting names to adults who grew up with Jurassic Park and Walking with Dinosaurs. As our knowledge of the prehistoric world continues to evolve and grow, so has the discipline of bringing these ancient worlds to life artistically. Paleoart puts flesh on the bones of long-extinct organisms, and illustrates the world they lived in.
Mesozoic Art presents twenty of the best artists working in this field, representing a broad spectrum of disciplines, from traditional painting to cutting-edge digital technology. Some provide the artwork for new scientific papers that demand high-end paleoart as part of their presentation to the world at large; they also work for the likes of National Geographic and provide art to museums around the world to illustrate their displays. Other artists are the new rising stars of paleoart in an ever-growing, ever-diversifying field.
Arranged by portfolio, this book brings this dramatic art to a wide, contemporary audience. The art is accompanied by text on the animals and their lives, written by palaeontologist Darren Naish. Paleoart is dynamic, fluid and colourful, as were the beasts it portrays, which are displayed in this magnificent book.
Описание: Told in rich detail and with gorgeous color recreations, this is the story of marine life in the age before the dinosaurs. During the Middle Triassic Period (247–237 million years ago), the mountain of Monte San Giorgio in Switzerland was a tropical lagoon. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because it boasts an astonishing fossil record of marine life from that time. Attracted to an incredibly diverse and well-preserved set of fossils, Swiss and Italian paleontologists have been excavating the mountain since 1850. Synthesizing and interpreting over a century of discoveries through a critical twenty-first century lens, paleontologist Olivier Rieppel tells for the first time the complete story of the fish and marine reptiles who made that long-ago lagoon their home. Through careful analysis and vividly rendered recreations, he offers memorable glimpses of not only what Thalattosaurs, Protorosaurs, Ichthyosaurs,Pachypleurosaurs, and other marine life looked like but how they moved and lived in the lagoon. An invaluable resource for specialists and accessible to all, this book is essential to all who are fascinated with ancient marine life.

Описание: 'Downright hilarious... Like watching a slow-motion car crash. Theroux possesses a fabulously nasty sense of humour' Stephen KingA riotously dysfunctional portrait of one all-American family and its diabolical matriarch - by one of America's most acclaimed writersEveryone in Cape Cod thinks that Mother is a wonderful woman: pious, hard-working, frugal.
Everyone except her husband and seven children. To them she is a selfish and petty tyrant -- endlessly comparing her many living children to the one who died in childbirth, keeping a vice-like hold on her offspring even as they try to escape into adulthood. Welcome to Mother Land: a suffocating kingdom of parental narcissism.
This is an engrossing, hilarious and heartbreaking portrait of a modern family -- the bickering, the conspiracies, and the drive to overcome the painful ties that bind. 'Brilliantly depicts characters in pinpoint prickly prose' Guardian'Funny and wonderfully mean spirited' Saturday Review'The family dynamic has been rendered exceptionally well' Herald
Описание: The Western Interior Seaway accumulated thick sediments which support hydrocarbon sources and reservoirs beginning with the Jurassic Period when the seaway was limited to British Columbia and Saskatchewan Provinces. Seas retreated and advanced throughout the Northern Canadian Provinces up until the Early Cretaceous Period when the seaway began to invade the Western U.S. states. By Late Cretaceous time, the seaway was at its maximum coverage throughout the Great Plains and along the Rocky Mountain Front. The western parts were subjected to deformation while the eastern part remained undisturbed. Deformation along the Rocky Mountain Front promoted fluvial floodplain and swamp deposition along the western shoreline building out deltaic deposits as drainage reached the western shoreline. Coal deposits accumulated. The eastern shoreline consisted mostly of terrestrial deposits reworked as they invaded the seaway. Marine limestone accumulated in the quieter waters while sandstone, shale, and mudstone buried limestone under similar conditions. These sediments promoted hydrocarbon development.The Western Interior Seaway region may be considered to be a largely interconnected hydrocarbon source and reservoir province subdivided into smaller basins covering large portions of states, occasionally crossing state boundaries to extend hydrocarbon source potential within the interior seaway regional province. The history for all basins discussed in this presentation developed under similar geologic settings.Chapter 1 provides an overview of the Western U.S. Mesozoic and Cenozoic geologic history. Chapter 2 describes the stratigraphy and sedimentation associated with the seaway during transgressive-regressive cyclic deposition.Chapter 3 presents coal and petroleum resources of Canada tied to the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.Chapter 4 presents petroleum provinces of the Western U.S. developed by the Western Interior Seaway.Chapter 5 summarizes the paleogeography and hydrocarbon development by the seaway.
