Tropische Wälder in der Antarktis. Ein Wasserfall von unvorstellbarer Größe, der das trockene Mittelmeerbecken mit Leben füllt. Eine Python, die in der kenianischen Savanne frühe Verwandte des Menschen auf Bäume jagt. Die Vergangenheit ist lebendig – und sie hinterlässt Spuren. Der Paläontologe Thomas Halliday entziffert sie origineller denn je. Anschaulich lässt er verlorene Welten wiederaufleben, erklärt, wie Ökosysteme entstehen und verschwinden, wie alte Spezies durch neue verdrängt werden, wie Lebewesen wandern, sich anpassen und entwickeln.

Learn the science behind weather and weather prediction in this clear and straightforward new guide.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, North American and European governments generously funded the discoveries of such famous paleontologists and geologists as Henry de la Beche, William Buckland, Richard Owen, Thomas Hawkins, Edward Drinker Cope, O. C. Marsh, and Charles W. Gilmore. In this book, Jane Davidson explores the motivation behind this rush to fund exploration, arguing that eagerness to discover strategic resources like coal deposits was further fueled by patrons who had a genuine passion for paleontology and the fascinating creatures that were being unearthed.

This podcast series discusses Theosophy, which is often defined as the synthesis of science, religion and philosophy. Founded by Helena P.

One small subject at a time, readings of Blavatsky and William Q. Judge are heard. One's own contemplation of the individual subjects presented, is bound to inform more than simply the moment.

Serendipity placed David Johnston on Mount St. Helens when the volcano rumbled to life in March 1980. Throughout that ominous spring, Johnston was part of a team conducting scientific research that underpinned warnings about the mountain. Those warnings saved thousands of lives when the most devastating volcanic eruption in U.S. history blew apart Mount St. Helens but killed Johnston on the ridge that now bears his name. Melanie Holmes tells the story of Johnston's journey from a nature-loving Boy Scout to a committed geologist.
