Mosses, Liverworts, and Hornworts of the World - Joanna Wilbraham - Bog - Princeton University Press - Plusbog.dk

Mosses, Liverworts, and Hornworts of the World - Joanna Wilbraham - Bog - Princeton University Press - Plusbog.dk

A magnificently illustrated guide to the bryophyte species found across the worldBryophytes are a highly diverse group of plants found in nearly all parts of the world and across a range of habitats. The term “bryophyte” describes plants of three closely related lineages: the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Ancient in their makeup, bryophytes disperse by spores rather than seeds and grow no more than a few centimeters high, carpeting forest floors or clinging to rocks and tree trunks. Instead of conducting fluids internally (like vascular plants), they absorb water and nutrients externally across the whole body of the plant. Such strategies have enabled bryophytes to survive, and indeed thrive, through the millennia. Mosses, Liverworts, and Hornworts of the World makes sense of their miniature world, differentiating between the three lineages and delving into their evolution, anatomy, and life cycles. The result is an unprecedented in-depth look at these exquisitely beautiful and often overlooked organisms. Features hundreds of stunning color photos of mosses, liverworts, and hornwortsProfiles individual genera across the three groups, including fact boxes and distribution mapsWritten by a world-renowned expert

The main entries offer both a brief definition and a substantial short essay on the broader meaning and significance of the term covered. Extensive cross-references allow readers to find related terms and concepts. An appendix of Buddhist lists (for example, the four noble truths and the thirty-two marks of the Buddha), a timeline, six maps, and two diagrams are also included.Written and edited by two of today''s most eminent scholars of Buddhism, and more than a decade in the making, this landmark work is an essential reference for every student, scholar, or practitioner of Buddhism and for anyone else interested in Asian religion, history, or philosophy. - The most comprehensive dictionary of Buddhism ever produced in English - More than 5,000 entries totaling over a million words - The first dictionary to cover terms from all of the canonical Buddhist languages and traditions—Sanskrit, Pali, Tibetan, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean - Detailed entries on the most important terms, concepts, texts, authors, deities, schools, monasteries, and geographical sites in the history of Buddhism - Cross-references and appendixes that allow readers to find related terms and look up equivalent terms in multiple Buddhist languages - Includes a list of Buddhist lists, a timeline, and maps - Also contains selected terms and names in Thai, Burmese, Vietnamese, Lao, Khmer, Sinhalese, Newar, and Mongolian

Elephants and Their Fossil Relatives - Asier Larramendi - Bog - Princeton University Press - Plusbog.dk

Elephants and Their Fossil Relatives - Asier Larramendi - Bog - Princeton University Press - Plusbog.dk

The ultimate illustrated guide to elephants and their prehistoric relativesToday, only three species of elephants survive—the African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana), the African forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis), and the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus). However, these modern giants represent just a fraction of the vast and diverse order Proboscidea, which includes not only living elephants but also their many extinct relatives. Over the past 60 million years, proboscideans have evolved and adapted across five continents, giving rise to an astonishing variety of forms, from the massive, woolly-coated mammoths of the Ice Age to the diminutive, island-dwelling dwarf elephants. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of proboscidean biology and evolutionary history, shedding light on the remarkable diversity of these extraordinary mammals. It delves into the anatomical characteristics of every known species, from the towering steppe mammoth (Mammuthus trogontherii) and the shovel-tusked Amebelodon to the semi-aquatic Moeritherium and the enigmatic Deinotherium. Readers will discover how these creatures developed an array of specialized adaptations, including variations in tusk shape and function, highly flexible trunks suited for different feeding strategies, and unique dental structures that allowed them to process a wide range of vegetation. Accompanied by stunning illustrations by Shu-yu Hsu, Elephants and Their Fossil Relatives brings these ancient giants back to life, offering a visually captivating and scientifically rigorous journey through their evolutionary past. Whether you are a paleontology enthusiast, a student of evolutionary biology, or a researcher in the field, this book serves as an indispensable reference for understanding one of the most extraordinary groups of animals ever to walk the earth. Brings together all known elephant species and their fossil relatives in a single volume for the first timeCovers more than 230 extinct species ranging in size from creatures no larger than a chihuahua to colossal giants weighing up to three times the mass of modern elephantsFeatures hundreds of stunning full-color illustrations and cutting-edge 3D reconstructions—many restored for the first timeDelves into the biology and behavior of modern elephants, answering key questions about their anatomy, behavior, and profound impact on human cultureDraws on groundbreaking studies of ancient proteins, isotopes, and DNAA must-have for elephant lovers everywhere
