Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, the second series of Swiney Lectures on Geology for the Victoria and Albert Musuem, takes on the geological study of the American continent. Originally intended as an updated version of the author's European Fauna but developed as an entirely new work, the research has allowed the author to further elucidate the geological history of American animals. Going beyond the scope of animals to include some study of marine and plant life, the author's aim in this work is to present evidence for the existence of past northern land connections as well as scrutiny of theories surrounding the supposed environmental changes that caused the ice age. This includes a study of the survival of species through that period within glaciated regions. A significant work in the field of zoogeography that is sure to interest students of the subject as well as the casual reader.
