LIFE TRACES OF THE GEORGIA COAST: REVEALING THE UNSEEN LIVES OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS
Book ID/图书代码： 06565014B72177
English Summary/英文概要： Have you ever wondered what left behind those prints and tracks on the seashore, or what made those marks or dug those holes in the dunes? Life Traces of the Georgia Coast is an up-close look at these traces of life and the animals and plants that made them. It tells about the how the tracemakers lived and how they interacted with their environments. This is a book about ichnology (the study of such traces), a wonderful way to learn about the behaviour of organisms, living and long extinct. Life Traces presents an overview of the traces left by modern animals and plants in this biologically rich region; shows how life traces relate to the environments, natural history, and behaviors of their tracemakers; and applies that knowledge toward a better understanding of the fossilized traces that ancient life left in the geologic record. Augmented by numerous illustrations of traces made by both ancient and modern organisms, the book shows how ancient trace fossils directly relate to modern traces and tracemakers, among them, insects, grasses, crabs, shorebirds, alligators, and sea turtles. The result is an aesthetically appealing and scientifically accurate book that will serve as both a source book for scientists and for anyone interested in the natural history of the Georgia coast.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书近距离研究了由佐治亚州海岸的动物和植物所留下的生命痕迹。这是一本有关化石足迹学的书，这是学习现存或已经灭绝的生命体行为的绝好方式。本书有众多有关生命痕迹的插图，生动展示了古代化石与现代痕迹以及这些痕迹的制造者（昆虫、海草、螃蟹、水鸟、短吻鳄、海龟等）之间的关系。这本书既充满了艺术气息，又有坚实的科学依据，对科学家和对佐治亚州海岸的自然历史有兴趣的读者来说都是非常好的参考书。(LYR)
