Dinosaurs: A Very Short Introduction explains the latest findings in dinosaur research and the exciting scientific discoveries that have built up a picture of how dinosaurs looked, what they ate, and how they moved and interacted with each other. This new approach combines many areas of science, such as anatomy, genetics, forensics and engineering design, to piece together the evidence of how animal life evolved on earth, and why it did in the wa…
Dinosaurs
"David Norman reveals how scientists combine anatomy, genetics, forensics, and even engineering design to build a picture of what dinosaurs looked like, what they ate, and how they moved and interacted with each other. Exploring how animal life evolved on Earth, he highlights the place of dinosaurs in evolutionary history."--Jacket.
The future of research on the past
‘The future of research on the past’ outlines how our account of dinosaur extinction has developed. The reign of dinosaurs came to a very abrupt end 65 million years ago. Why? Theories ranged from the elegant to the outlandish, until Walter Alvarez — the palaeobiologist son of an astronomer — examined the levels of cosmic dust in the Earth's crust. He found evidence of a massive meteorite collision. This would have generated a dust cloud so big i…
Willingness to pay to improve domestic water supply in rural areas of Central Tanzania
This analysis estimates willingness to pay to improve community-based rural water utilities in the Dodoma and Singida Regions of Central Tanzania, using Multinomial Logit functions. An estimate of willingness to pay provides an indication of the demand for improved services and potential for them being sustainable. Surveys were conducted in a total of 30 villages in the two regions. In the Dodoma Region, about 14% of respondents indicated that th…
