It is a book that takes the student on a journey through nearly every aspect of dinosaur biology, geology, and the history of their discovery. The book presents facts together with current ideas, notions, and controversies. Dr. Lucas presents dinosaurs as successful, living creatures that were merely different in appearance from animals living today. Dr. Lucas has written a comprehensive book that is easily read and understood by students with little scientific background--a book that teaches students not only how to use scientific methods, but how to synthesize data to create their own ideas. In contrast with many dinosaur books from the past, Dr. Lucas, although indicating his own views, allows students the opportunity to think for themselves. New to this edition Expanded art and photo program. This is one of the hallmark strengths of the Lucas text. We added new photos and illustrations as appropriate to enhance the understanding of the prose. New information on the latest dinosaur discoveries has been added, including the Microraptor from China and the Neuquenraptor from Argentina. Spencer Lucas has updated the text with new and revised theories in the study of dinosaurs based on his research and reviewer requests. Earth Science New THE GOOD EARTH Introduction to Earth Sciences By David McConnell, David Steer, Katherine Owens, Catherine Knight and Lisa Park of University of Akron 2008 (February 2007) ISBN-13: 978-0-07-325650-4 / MHID: 0-07-325650-1 ISBN-13: 978-0-07-331534-8 / MHID: 0-07-331534-6 (with ARIS Instructor QuickStart Guide) The Good Earth (TGE) is the product of collaboration between the content rigor provided by Earth Science specialists (McConnell, Park, Steer) and the results of research on learning as contributed by pedagogical experts (Knight, Owens). TGE has been explicitly designed to be compatible with inquiry-based, active learning in the college classroom. The structural elements of this text will allow the instructor to incorporate these studentcentered teaching methods into their Earth Science course. The authors have tested the book’s content and pedagogy in large Earth Science classes for non-majors that are populated with mostly freshmen. Their experiences show that the materials and methods in TGE can improve students’ learning, increase daily attendance, reduce attrition, and increase students’ enthusiasm in comparison with classes taught following a traditional lecture format. The authors have chosen to emphasize three scientific themes throughout the text: i) scientific literacy; ii) Earth Science and the human experience; and, iii) the science of global change. The discussion of scientific methods is woven into the text throughout. They have included numerous examples of human interaction with the Earth that can serve as entry points for students to appreciate the nature of science. Global change is a theme that is evident in much current Earth Science research so our authors have used global change as a content theme throughout the book. The text now incorporates the newest ideas on bird origins. FEATURES Updated references have been added to the end-of-chapter lists. • The text emphasizes “active learning” by providing ample opportunities for self-assessement. Some of these can be completed electronically with results forwarded to the instructor. Features Page referenced key terms at the end of each chapter. The excellent writing style continues to present a scientifically accurate overview of dinosaurs that is understandable to the non-science student. The Instructor’s Manual is available on the text web site. The Instructor’s Manual includes a suggested syllabus along with a description of the text’s organization and chapter interdependence to assist instructors in planning how best to use the text to meet the needs of their course. The manual provides a description of the material covered in each chapter as well as suggestions for presenting the material. The suggestions discuss what material should be emphasized and methods for overcoming potential difficulties. Answers to all of the review questions are also provided for each chapter, a benefit that’s unique to this Instructor’s Manual.

It is concerned with how the natural world operates and, in so doing, kills and maims humans and destroys their works. Throughout the book, certain themes are maintained: * energy sources underlying disasters * plate tectonics and climate change * earth processes operating in rock, water, and atmosphere * significance of geologic time * complexities of multiple variables operating simultaneously * detailed and readable case studies. NEW TO THIS EDITION • New feature: Entire text has been revised to feature 4-color line drawings and photos. • Case Histories: The text aims to explain important principles about the Earth and then develop further understanding through numerous case studies. • End-of-Chapter Learning Aids: Learning aids at the conclusion of every chapter include Terms to Remember, Questions for Review and Questions for Further Thought. • Organization: The primary organization of the book is based on an energy theme. Chapter 1 leads off with data describing death and destruction, and then examines the energy sources underlying disasters. Earthquake and volcano disasters fueled by Earth’s internal energy are addressed in Chapters 2 through 7 and are organized on a plate-tectonics theme. Disasters powered primarily by gravity are covered in Chapter 8 on mass movements. Disasters fueled by the external energy of the Sun are examined in Chapters 9 through 13 on climate change, severe weather, floods, and fire. Chapter 14 examines the great dyings encased in the fossil record. Chapter 15 examines impacts from asteroids and comets and includes plans to protect Earth from future impacts. Historical Geology LABORATORY STUDIES IN EARTH HISTORY 8th Edition By James C. Brice, Harold L. Levin, Washington University—St. Louis and Michael S. Smith 2004 / 320 pages ISBN-13: 978-0-07-252806-0 / MHID: 0-07-252806-0 Website: http://www.mhhe.com/brice Utilizing actual case studies and field photographs, this successful lab manual covers the full spectrum of historical geology sediments, plate tectonics, paleontology, and petrology in flexible, self-contained units. This manual has been developed for use in both nonmajors and combined courses in historical geology. The exercises emphasize the principles and methods by which geologists discover the origins and changing nature of our planet. These exercises or “studies” will help students understand how ancient conditions can be read from rocks and fossils, how geologic forces at the surface and within the planet can alter the environment and change world geography, and how events of the past can be placed within an integrated chronological sequence. The exercises are designed for students who may not intend to specialize in geology. This does not mean, however, that the treatment is superficial, nor that it cannot give adequate preparation for students pursuing an academic major in the earth sciences.

In keeping with the preference for a “How do we know?” rather than “What do we know?” approach, the authors stress what assumptions are made by earth historians, what kinds of evidence (and tools for gathering that evidence), and what processes of reasoning and limitations of hypotheses are involved in reconstructing and interpreting the past. Each chapter begins with a list of highlights entitled “Major Concepts”. Many chapters have a summary timeline that puts the entire sequence of events into a quick visual reference frame. The use of dioramas and reconstructions of extinct animals and plants has been greatly expanded, so that students can get a more vivid concept of typical life in any part of the geologic past. In many places, the authors have supplied a full page of color photos of classic fossils from each period to improve the visual recognition of the organisms that give life its distinctive history. The areas of hottest controversy, such as mass extinctions, dinosaur endothermy, the origin of life, and controversies over late Proterozoic tectonics and glaciation, have been given separate sections so that students can appreciate the different sides of the debates.

Also emphasized is the idea that ocean science is an ongoing process, dependent upon cutting-edge technology and research. Students are encouraged to take an active role in learning by exploring scientific ideas, data, and alternative ways of thinking as they view oceanography through the eyes of an oceanographer. FEATURES • Exploring the World Ocean takes a systems approach: each chapter contributes to the understanding of the ocean’s geological, physical, chemical, and biological processes and how they work together to form one world ocean. • Written by an oceanographer and researcher currently in the field, the authors’ goal is to capture the spirit of oceanography by allowing the reader to view it through the eyes of an oceanographer. • “You Might Wonder” sections offer general interest questions and answers that provide interesting tidbits, strange and amazing facts, common misconceptions and miscellaneous topics of interest to students. • Each chapter ends with Critical Thinking questions and activities which are designed to help students assess their understanding of chapter material. These questions also provide an excellent starting point for deeper explorations of a topic in classroom or online discussions. • Appendices include: Symbols, Metric System, Conversions, and Useful Oceanographic Formulas. • A fold-out map at the end of the book provides a quick reference to the oceans, seas, bays, gulfs, straights, channels, and waters that form the world ocean. • The Online Learning Center features additional tools and activities for students including: chapter quizzing, key terms flashcards, web links, animations, and Scripps video clips. • Instructors will find an Instructor’s Manual, PowerPoint Lecture outlines, and CPS questions. CONTENTS Preface / Chapter One: Introducing the World Ocean Chapter Two: World Ocean Origins Chapter Three: Plate Tectonics Theory and Evidence Chapter Four: Sea Floor Features Chapter Five: Ocean Sediments Chapter Six: Ocean Chemistry Chapter Seven: Ocean Physics Chapter Eight: The Ocean and the Atmosphere Chapter Nine: Surface and Deep Circulation Chapter Ten: Ocean Waves Chapter Eleven: Ocean Tides and Sea Level Chapter Twelve: Ocean Life and Its Evolution Chapter Thirteen: Phytoplankton Productivity Chapter Fourteen: Ocean Food Webs Chapter Fifteen: Humans and the Coastal Ocean Chapter Sixteen: Future Explorations Appendices • Guided by the desire to present science as a process and to immerse students in the literature of modern day oceanographic research, fundamental questions of human and scientific interest are explored throughout the text. • Exploring the World Ocean offers a more contemporary view of oceanography, prompting students to question the ocean and its systems, and to seek answers by investigating the different tools and methods scientists use to explain the processes they observe. • “Spotlight” boxed readings highlight cutting-edge oceanographic research and technology through discussions of ocean-related environmental and societal issues, as well as controversies and areas of research where oceanographers disagree. These boxes provide added interest and demonstrate the fact that science is constantly changing. Topics include: Sea Floor Observatories: Telescopes to Inner Space, Increasing CO2 in the World Ocean, Are the Polar Ice Caps Melting?, and Robotic “Oceanographers” Witness Extreme Events. • Pedagogical features include: chapter outline, Questions to Consider, bolded key terms, “Spotlight” boxed readings, “You Might Wonder” questions and answers, bulleted key concepts, Terms to Remember, and directions to the Online Learning Center for self-assessment, web links, and animations. • Each chapter begins with Questions to Consider; a set of questions that may be used as an introduction to a topic, or a starting point for inquiry-based studies. These questions are intended to stimulate curiosity and promote thinking like an oceanographer. • Historical content and environmental issues are woven throughout the text in the context of chapter-specific subject matter. • Figure captions often function as an extension of the text by providing new or additional information about a topic. This forces students to view the art as a learning tool, and helps them to better understand the concept being presented. • Exploring the World Ocean contains more than 400 full-color maps, illustrations and photographs. All of the art has been carefully designed and selected to complement and reinforce the text. World maps have been put on the Robinson projection for added visual appeal. International Edition New INTRODUCTION TO THE WORLD’S OCEANS 9th Edition By Keith Sverdrup and Alyn Duxbury of University of Washington and Alison Duxbury, North Seattle Comm College 2008 (September 2006) ISBN-13: 978-0-07-325483-8 / MHID: 0-07-325483-5 ISBN-13: 978-0-07-110221-6 / MHID: 0-07-110221-3 [IE] An Introduction to the World’s Oceans, Ninth Edition, is an introductory oceanography text intended for students without a background in mathematics, chemistry, physics, geology, or biology. It emphasizes the role of basic scientific principles in helping understand the processes that govern the ocean and the earth. A major objective of the text is to stimulate student interest and curiosity by blending contemporary information and research with basic principles to form an integrated introduction to the sciences of the oceans. To keep the text as current as possible, the authors conduct their own research and examine other findings such as analyzing satellite data and large-scale oceanographic programs. From this vast amount of data, they select interesting, relevant, and understandable examples that illustrate contemporary principles of oceanography. An Introduction to the World’s Oceans places greater emphasis on the physical and geological aspects of the oceans than on the chemical and geochemical properties, because the latter disciplines require more specific background knowledge. An ecological approach helps integrate the biological chapters with other subjects. Students are encouraged to look at oceanography as a cohesive and united discipline rather than a collection of subjects gathered under a marine umbrella. As with all previous editions, the authors continue to make each chapter stand as independently as possible, so that professors can assign chapters in the order that best suits their classrooms. 124 HED 2007 Geology.indd 124 9/29/2006 1:23:57 PM Geology Paleontology NEW TO THIS EDITION • Field Notes (six found throughout the book) feature guest essays by prominent oceanographers. These essays offer insight into the world of oceanographers and help students learn about some of the most exciting and cutting-edge developments in oceanography. They also provide the reader a glimpse into the near future of the discipline. • Thirty-four Scripps Video Clips are available to users of this text. These 15- to 20-second, underwater clips feature footage of marine animals and their behavior, giving students a glimpse into a real, underwater perspective. FEATURES • Updated: The Online Learning Center now features a student study guide, flashcards, and web links, in addition to online quizzing, animations and exercises, and instructor resources. • The authors each bring unique skills and expertise to this text. Alyn Duxbury has expertise in physical oceanography, Alison Duxbury has expertise in marine biology, and Keith Sverdrup has expertise in marine geology, geophysics, and how oceanography relates to other areas of science. • The Digital Content Manager CD-ROM contains nearly every photograph and piece of artwork from the textbook. Additionally, video clips from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography are also included on this presentation CD-ROM.

Traditional textbooks treat these separately, despite the recent trend to combine them in teaching. It bridges the gap between purely theoretical paleobiology and purely descriptive invertebrate paleontology books. The text is targeted at undergraduate geology and biology majors, with the emphasis on organisms, rather than dead objects to be described and catalogued.
