David E. Fastovsky Book order

In this guide, educators and authors David Upegui and David Fastovsky offer a pedagogical prescription for how you can integrate the study of racial justice with evolutionary biology in your existing high-school biology curriculum.

The ideal textbook for non-science majors, this lively and engaging introduction encourages students to ask questions, assess data critically and think like a scientist. Building on the success of the previous editions, Dinosaurs has been reorganised and extensively rewritten in response to instructor and student feedback. It continues to make science accessible and relevant through its clear explanations and extensive illustrations. Updated to reflect recent fossil discoveries and to include new taxa, the text guides students through the dinosaur groups, emphasising scientific concepts rather than presenting endless facts. It is grounded in the common language of modern evolutionary biology - phylogenetic systematics - so that students examine dinosaurs as professional paleontologists do. The key emerging theme of feathered dinosaurs, and the many implications of feathers, have been integrated throughout the book, highlighted by the inclusion of stunning new photographs in this beautifully illustrated text, now in full colour throughout.

Offering an in-depth exploration of dinosaurs, this comprehensive textbook from 2005 stands out as an essential resource for enthusiasts and scholars alike. It combines detailed illustrations with thorough scientific research, covering various species, their habitats, and evolutionary history. The text is designed to engage readers with its clarity and depth, making it an invaluable reference for anyone interested in paleontology.
