New specimens, some of them breathtakingly complete, have been found in nearly all parts of the globe at a rapid pace. Coupled with the application of new scientific approaches and techniques, these exciting discoveries have led to profound changes in our interpretation of early mammal history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMesozoic mammals have come into their own as a rich source of information for evolutionary biology. Their record of episodic, successive radiations speaks to the pace and mode of evolution. Early mammals were small, but they provide key information on the morphological transformations that led to modern mammals, including our own lineage of Placentalia. Significant and fast-evolving elements of the terrestrial biota for much of the Mesozoic, early mammals have played an increasingly important role in studies of paleoecology, faunal turnover, and historical biogeography. The record of early mammals occupies center stage for testing molecular evolutionary hypotheses on the timing and sequence of mammalian radiations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOrganized according to phylogeny, this book covers all aspects of the anatomy, paleobiology, and systematics of all early mammalian groups, in addition to the extant mammalian lineages extending back into the Mesozoic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zofia Kielan-Jaworowska,Richard Cifelli,Zhe-XI Luo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231119186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231119184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.26h x 8.56w x 1.54d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2005 pg. 1843\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 49 - Recommended\/Special Interest","brand":"Zofia Kielan-Jaworowska","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48799282790655,"sku":"9780231119184","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mammals-from-the-age-of-zofia-kielan-jaworowska-9780231119184","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
