What was life like on our planet long before the early humans emerged?
Paleontologist Dr. Mark P. Witton draws on the latest twenty-first century discoveries to re-create the appearances and lifestyles of extinct, fascinating species, the environments they inhabited, and the challenges they faced living on an ever-changing planet. A worthy successor to Charles Knight's beloved 1946 classic, Life through the Ages II takes us on an unforgettable journey through the evolution of life on Earth.
Dozens of gorgeous color illustrations and meticulously researched, accompanying commentary showcase the succession of lost worlds, defining events, and ancient creatures that have appeared since the earth was formed, creating an indispensable guide to explore what came before us.
Do you want to learn more about quantum physics, but you don't know where to begin? Are you perplexed if it's possible to have the same object in two places at once? Are you trying to find answers if time travel is feasible today? If your answer to these questions is yes, then keep reading
Whether you believe it or not, the Quantum world is real
Quantum Physics discovers the behavior of energy and matter at the nuclear, atomic, molecular, and even smaller levels. This book, Quantum Physics for Beginners - The Easy Guide to Understand how Everything Works through the Behavior of Matter, the Law of Attraction and the Theory of Relativity, will make such a complicated subject simple to comprehend.
It avoids the complicated math and jumps right into all the implications, thought experiments, paradoxes, and concepts which make quantum physics so intriguing to people out there.
Quantum physics might sound like the type of topic you do not like to touch for a simple read before you go to sleep. No one would blame you for that. Honestly, quantum physics is loaded with deals and paradoxes in the concept of paradox itself as its core engine.
This book is intended to help you with that. Knowing the fundamentals of quantum physics is simple with this guide. After reading, you can start asking big questions through modern physics and find solutions to such problems too.
Here's a quick peek of what you will learn in this book:
What Is Quantum Physics, And Why you Should Learn It
Introduction To Quantum Physics Main Elements
Einstein and The Theory Of Relativity

Описание: Exactly 20 years after the publication of the 1st edtiion, New World Publications is releasing a new, updated and enlarged 2nd edition. The new, 448-page edition includes 588 photos, emphasises reef fish life cycles, reproduction, cleaning symbiosis, colors & camouflage, senses and sound communications, marine wildlife management plus 17 fish family overviews. Since the publication of the first edition, notable advances in science have lead to greater understanding of reef fish behavior. DNA markers for tracking fish larvae have helped our understanding of larval transport and its crucial role establishing and maintaining reef fish communities. Lab and field studies in the Pacific have revealed a more complex relationship between species in cleaning behavior. Science and local conservation efforts in the Cayman Islands and Belize have also yielded new information on grouper and snapper spawning aggregations. Reef Fish Behavior presents an overview of what is presently known about the nature of reef fishes for recreational divers, underwater naturalists, photographers, and budding marine biologists. It is also meant to serve as a companion reference to Reef Fish Identification Florida Caribbean Bahamas 4th edition.

Описание: One of the major challenges instructors face in Animal Behavior is engaging with an audience that has a wide range of backgrounds and academic aspirations. Many students taking this course are pre-meds and fail to see the relevance of the subject to their future careers. Rubenstein's Animal Behavior, the best-selling text in the market, addresses this challenge by introducing students to a rich array of fascinating examples of animal behavior and uses a vivid narrative voice that conveys the excitement of the subject. To further address this course issue, the upcoming 12th edition's enhanced eBook will make the subject come alive with numerous video and audio clips that will be presented in-line as students read. The enhanced Ebook will also include 50 new interactive figures. Another objective instructors have is to help students master concepts and then demonstrate that mastery. To assist instructors with this goal, the 12th edition enhanced eBook will incorporate all-new inline self-assessments, as well as gradable chapter assessment quizzes. Another essential challenge in the course is helping students realize that animal behavior research is rooted in rigorous scientific methodology. The new edition will include an all-new Behind the Scenes feature, in which sections in each chapter will highlight a single research paper and take an in-depth look at how the research was conducted. Related to this course issue, instructors want to introduce their students to a balanced view of the ultimate and proximate causes underlying how and why animals behave as they do. Rubenstein is renowned for its empirical presentation of the ultimate causes of animal behavior, and the 12th edition will do an even better job of integrating concepts across levels of scale at the proximate level. This need will be address by including an even greater focus on Tinbergen's Four Questions and by including more integrative studies that cross levels of analysis. Finally, a significant course challenge is helping students get through the information overload, and the new 12th edition will be streamlined by approximately 10%, a re-design of the chapter summaries, and the addition of synthetic sections that link topics across the text and media resources.

Описание: This volume is a self-contained companion piece to Studying Vibrational Communication, published in 2014 within the same series. The field has expanded considerably since then, and has even acquired a name of its own: biotremology.In this context, the book reports on new concepts in this fascinating discipline, and features chapters on state-of-the art methods for studying behavior tied to substrate-borne vibrations, as well as an entire section on applied biotremology. Also included are a historical contribution by pioneers in the field and several chapters reviewing the advances that have been made regarding specific animal taxa. Other new topics covered are vibrational communication in vertebrates, multimodal communication, and biotremology in the classroom, as well as in art and music. Given its scope, the book will appeal to all those interested in communication and vibrational behavior, but also to those seeking to learn about an ancient mode of communication.
