    Series series Ecocritical Theory and Practice
    The term “Anthropocene”, the era of mankind, is increasingly being used as a scientific designation for the current geological epoch. This is because the human species now dominates ecosystems worldwide, and affects nature in a way that rivals natural forces in magnitude and scale. Thinking about Animals in the Age of the Anthropocene presents a dozen chapters that address the role and place of ... Read more

    The Ecological Role of Sounds

    Edited by Almo Farina, Stuart H. Gage ...
    The sounds produced by geophonic, biophonic and technophonic sources are relevant to the function of natural and human modified ecosystems. Passive recording is one of the most non-invasive technologies as its use avoids human intrusion during acoustic surveys and facilitates the accumulation of huge amounts of acoustical data.For the first time, this book collates and reviews the science behind ...

  • Stratigraphic Paleobiology

    Understanding the Distribution of Fossil Taxa in Time and Space

    by Mark E. Patzkowsky, Steven M. Holland ...
    Whether the fossil record should be read at face value or whether it presents a distorted view of the history of life is an argument seemingly as old as many fossils themselves. In the late 1700s, Georges Cuvier argued for a literal interpretation, but in the early 1800s, Charles Lyell's gradualist view of the earth's history required a more nuanced interpretation of that same record. To this day, ... Read more
