A newly revised and fully updated edition of the market-leading introduction to paleontology
Designed for students and anyone else with an interest in the history of life on our planet, the new edition of this classic text describes the biological evolution of Earth’s organisms, and reconstructs their adaptations and the ecology and environments in which they functioned.
Cowen's History of Life, 6th Edition
includes major updates, including substantial rewrites to chapters on the origins of eukaryotes, the Cambrian explosion, the terrestrialization of plants and animals, the Triassic recovery of life, the origin of birds, the end-Cretaceous mass extinction, and human evolution. It also features new chapters on plants, soils and transformation of the land; the Mesozoic marine revolution; and the evolution of oceans and climates. Beginning with the origin of the Earth and the earliest life on earth, the book goes on to offer insightful contributions covering: the evolution of Metazoans; the early vertebrates; life of vertebrates on land; and early amniotes and thermoregulation. The book also looks at: dinosaur diversity, as well as their demise; early mammals; the rise of modern mammals; the Neogene Savannas; primates; life in the ice ages; and more.
Covers the breadth of the subject in a concise yet specific way for undergrads with no academic background in the topic
Reorganizes all chapters to reflect the geological series of events, enabling a new focus on big events
Updated with three brand new chapters and numerous revised ones
Put together by a new editorial team internationally recognized as the global leaders in paleontology
Filled with illustrations and photographs throughout
Includes diagrams to show internal structures of organisms, cladograms, time scales and events, and paleogeographic maps
Supplemented with a dedicated website that explores additional enriching information and discussion, and which features images for use in visual presentations
is an ideal book for undergraduate students taking courses in introductory paleontology, as well those on global change and earth systems.
