    EXHIBITION BY LUIS V. REY & GONDWANA STUDIOS HORNS, SPIKES, QUILLS AND FEATHERS. THE SECRET IS IN THE SKIN! Not long ago, our knowledge of dinosaurs was based almost completely on the assumptions we made from their internal body structure. Bones and possible muscle and tendon attachments were what scientists used mostly for reconstructing their anatomy. The rest, including the colours, were left to the imagination… and needless to say the skins were lizard-like and the colours grey, green and brown prevailed. We are breaking the mould with this Dinosaur runners, massive horned faces and Revolution! tank-like monsters had to live with and defend themselves against the teeth and claws of the Thanks to a vast web of new research, that this Feathery Menace... a menace that sometimes time emphasises also skin and ornaments, we reached gigantic proportions in the shape of are now able to get a glimpse of the true, bizarre Tyrannosaurus… or in the shape of outlandish, and complex nature of the evolution of the massive ornithomimids with gigantic claws Dinosauria. like the newly re-discovered Deinocheirus, reconstructed here for the first time in full.

  • D Inosaur Paleobiology
    Topics in Paleobiology The study of dinosaurs has been experiencing a remarkable renaissance over the past few decades. Scientifi c understanding of dinosaur anatomy, biology, and evolution has advanced to such a degree that paleontologists often know more about 100-million-year-old dinosaurs than many species of living organisms. This book provides a contemporary review of dinosaur science intended for students, researchers, and dinosaur enthusiasts. It reviews the latest knowledge on dinosaur anatomy and phylogeny, Brusatte how dinosaurs functioned as living animals, and the grand narrative of dinosaur evolution across the Mesozoic. A particular focus is on the fossil evidence and explicit methods that allow paleontologists to study dinosaurs in rigorous detail. Scientifi c knowledge of dinosaur biology and evolution is shifting fast, Dinosaur and this book aims to summarize current understanding of dinosaur science in a technical, but accessible, style, supplemented with vivid photographs and illustrations. Paleobiology Dinosaur The Topics in Paleobiology Series is published in collaboration with the Palaeontological Association, Paleobiology and is edited by Professor Mike Benton, University of Bristol. Stephen Brusatte is a vertebrate paleontologist and PhD student at Columbia University and the American Museum of Natural History. His research focuses on the anatomy, systematics, and evolution of fossil vertebrates, especially theropod dinosaurs. He is particularly interested in the origin of major groups such Stephen L. Brusatte as dinosaurs, birds, and mammals. Steve is the author of over 40 research papers and three books, and his work has been profi led in The New York Times, on BBC Television and NPR, and in many other press outlets.

    National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Information Exchange for Marine Educators Archive of Educational Programs, Activities, and Websites P to Z Environmental and Ocean Literacy Environmental literacy is key to preserving the nation's natural resources for current and future use and enjoyment. An environmentally literate public results in increased stewardship of the natural environment. Many organizations are working to increase the understanding of students, teachers, and the general public about the environment in general, and the oceans and coasts in particular. The following are just some of the large-scale and regional initiatives which seek to provide standards and guidance for our educational efforts and form partnerships to reach broader audiences. (In the interest of brevity, please forgive the abbreviations, the abbreviated lists of collaborators, and the lack of mention of funding institutions). The lists are far from inclusive. Please send additional entries for inclusion in future newsletters. Background Documents Developing a Framework for Assessing Environmental Literacy NAAEE has released Developing a Framework for Assessing Environmental Literacy , developed by researchers, educators, and assessment specialists in social studies, science, environmental education, and others.

    CENTRAL EUROPEAN REVIEW OF ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT ISSN 2543-9472; eISSN 2544-0365 www.cerem-review.eu Vol. 4, No. 1, 149-162, March 2020 www.ojs.wsb.wroclaw.pl COVID-19 – reflections on the surprise of both an expected and unexpected event1 Johannes (Joost) PLATJE WSB University in Wrocław, Wrocław, Poland Jeffrey A. HARVEY Netherlands Institute of Ecology, Wageningen, The Netherlands, and Vrije University, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Lez Rayman-BACCHUS University of Winchester Business School, Winchester, UK Abstract: Aim: This paper reflects on the COVID-19 epidemic from the perspective of small probabilities and the difficulty of predicting similar events. Against the background of basic economic principles, the importance of the precautionary principle for crisis management is discussed, as well as potential consequences of this epidemic. Findings: The authors argue that whilst the epidemic as such was unexpected, in future countries should be prepared for such stochastic events to happen. This requires a precautionary approach. When society is not prepared for such a calamity, or waits too long to implement measures to deal with it, the social and economic costs may be very high – much higher than ‘hedging bets’ and losing. The article reflects on different issues which are meant for further discussion on unpredictable future threats. One important issue is the uncertainty created by this event. This increases the likeliness that something unexpected can appear in the near future, creating the need for research and discussion on public and government responses to these events. Being aware of such challenges increases the likeliness of 1 This paper is non-refereed, as it reflects on the actual situation.
