Alaska Dinosaurs
«
Polar regions and fossils are topics of perpetual interest. Now we are in a world of global warming, in which polar regions heat first and suffer more immediate impacts. The Cretaceous was a greenhouse world with warmer poles and, thus, serve as a warm Earth analog. Fiorillo is undoubtedly the best person to have written this book because of his experience in the field, his numerous publications, and his complementary work in Asia. - Louis L. Jacobs, Southern Methodist University.
Alaska Dinosaurs: An Ancient Arctic World is a cutting-edge presentation of Cretaceous Arctic ecosystems. This comprehensive work represents an important step forward in presenting Alaska’s fascinating fossil history. - Federico Fanti, Università di Bologna.
The work reads like a call to arms to explore the paleontological significance of the ancient Arctic. - Mead Treadwell, former Lt. Governor of Alaska and former Chair of the United States Arctic Research Commission
This volume is one of the most up-to-date and comprehensive overviews of what is known of Cretaceous ecosystems from the far north, and provides a starting point for those seeking more in-depth studies. - Christopher R. Noto, Biological Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Parkside, Kenosha, Wisconsin
...A compelling and truly fascinating tour through ancient Arctic ecosystems, employing dinosaurs as our guide. This book is a must read for anyone seeking a journey through the deep time paleontologic record of Alaska... expeditions through the eyes of explorers who organized voyages... providing us a view of the sometimes harsh yet exhilarating and inspirational landscape. I found Anthony Fiorillo’s book to be fabulous. It is a brilliant summary of Alaska Arctic Dinosaurs and ancient Arctic ecosystems. - Peter P. Flaig, Research Associate at The University of Texas at Austin
