商品描述
Using a series of case studies, the book demonstrates the power of dynamic analysis as applied to the fossil record. The book considers how we think about certain types of paleontological questions and shows how to answer them. The analytical tools presented here will have wide application to other fields of knowledge; as such the book represents a major contribution to the deployment of modern scientific method as it builds on author's previous book, Dynamic Paleontology. Students and seasoned professionals alike will find this book to be of great utility for refining their approach to their ongoing and future research projects.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書透過一系列案例研究，展示了動態分析在化石紀錄中的應用力量。本書考慮了我們如何思考某些類型的古生物學問題，並展示了如何回答這些問題。這裡所呈現的分析工具將廣泛應用於其他知識領域；因此，本書對於現代科學方法的運用具有重要貢獻，並且建立在作者之前的著作《動態古生物學》（Dynamic Paleontology）之上。無論是學生還是資深專業人士，都會發現本書對於精煉他們在進行中的研究項目和未來研究計畫的方式具有極大的幫助。
作者簡介
Mark McMenamin's research focuses on the origin of animals and other forms of complex life, the origin of land plants, and the Snowball Earth glaciation. His 2016 book Dynamic Paleontology (Springer) provides a new framework for the analysis and interpretation of ancient life. Mark's students are known for publishing in peer-review journals while undergraduates. In 2008, Mark received (as director of the Keck Geology project to study the rocks of the Boston Basin) a teaching award from Southern Utah University for student project excellence. Mark named the supercontinent Rodinia in The Emergence of Animals (Columbia University Press). His research is featured in the History Channel's program How the Earth Was Made. His concept of Hypersea: Life on Land was called one of "seven ideas that could change the world" by Discover Magazine.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
馬克·麥克梅南的研究專注於動物及其他複雜生命形式的起源、陸地植物的起源，以及雪球地球的冰川作用。他於2016年出版的書籍《動態古生物學》（Dynamic Paleontology，Springer）提供了一個分析和解釋古代生命的新框架。馬克的學生以在本科期間就能在同行評審期刊上發表論文而聞名。2008年，作為波士頓盆地岩石研究的凱克地質項目主任，馬克獲得南猶他大學頒發的學生專案卓越教學獎。馬克在《動物的出現》（The Emergence of Animals，哥倫比亞大學出版社）中命名了超大陸羅迪尼亞（Rodinia）。他的研究在歷史頻道的節目《地球是如何形成的》（How the Earth Was Made）中被介紹。他的概念《超海：陸地上的生命》（Hypersea: Life on Land）被《發現雜誌》（Discover Magazine）稱為「七個可能改變世界的想法」之一。
