* Advances in genetics, histology, microstructure, biomechanics, and morphometrics have allowed researchers to view teeth and dental tissue from new perspectives. Written by leading experts in the field, this book brings together overviews on a wide range of dental topics. The contributors discuss the latest research linking genes, molecules, and developmental mechanisms within an evolutionary framework. This book will stimulate cooperative research in fields as diverse as paleontology, molecular biology, developmental biology, and functional morphology. *

Contents
Preface/ 1. Introducing Archaeology and Prehistory/ 2. The Record of the Past/ 3. Acquiring the Record/ 4. How Did People Live?/ 5. Individuals and Interactions/ 6. Studying the Intangible/ 7. Explaining the Pas/ 8. Human Origins/ 10. The Great Diaspora/ 11. The Earliest Farmers/ 12. The First Civilizations/ 14. Maize, Pueblos, and Mound Builders/ 15. Mesoamerican Civilizations/ 16.

* Ancient Lives is aimed at general courses in archaeology and prehistorythat cover archaeological methods and theory, as well as world prehistory. The first half of the book covers the basic principles, methods, and theoretical approaches of archaeology. The second half is devoted to a summary of the major developments of human prehistory: the origins of humankind and the archaic world, the origins and spread of modern humans, the emergence of food production, and the beginnings of civilization. This is a book for complete beginners, written in anarrative style. *

Principles of Paleontology 3rd ed.
W.H. Freeman, USA 2006.8
480 pp. (H)
ISBN 0-7167-0613-x

Contents
1. The Nature of the Fossil Record/ 2. Growth and Form/ 3. Populations and Species/ 4. Systematics/ 5. Evolutionary Morphology/ 6. Biostratigraphy/ 7. Evolutionary Rates and Trends/ 8. Global Diversity and Extinctions/ 9. Paleoecology and Paleobiogeography/ 10. Multidisciplinary Studies in Paleontology/
* When published in 1971, Principles of Paleontology (POP) by David Raup and Steven Stanley revolutionized both textbooks and teaching in paleontology by adopting an approach that focused on the process of studying biologic groups, rather than a systematic approach (the study of individual groups of organisms), or an historical approach (narrating events to date). For this highly anticipated revision of Raup and Stanley's one-term undergraduate text, two of Raup's former students--Michael Foote and Arnold Miller--use that defining core approach to present a thoroughly up-to-date portrait of a field that has undergone major transformations in the last two decades. *
