Since publishing the first edition of ?The Dawn of Angiosperms? in 2010, several important advances have been made in this field of science, namely 1) the discovery of new fossil angiosperms from the Jurassic; 2) European researchers discovering angiosperm-like pollen from the Triassic; and most importantly 3) the discovery of a perfect flower from the Jurassic. All of these findings are at odds with the currently widely accepted evolutionary theories, and thus call upon us to critically reassess botanical theory. Accordingly, the new edition of this book not only includes more new fossil taxa, but also documents them in greater detail and corrects many commonly held misconceptions. In so doing, it makes related studies and teaching on the early history of angiosperms more realistic, concrete, and tangible, providing concrete fossil evidence as the basis for future research, and helping to distinguish the most accurate botanical hypotheses. 410 0$aSpringer Geology,$x2197-9545 606 $aPaleontology  606 $aHistorical geology 606 $aEvolutionary biology 606 $aPlant physiology 606 $aPaleontology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G39000 606 $aHistorical Geology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17020 606 $aEvolutionary Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L21001 606 $aPlant Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33020 615 0$aPaleontology . 615 0$aHistorical geology. 615 0$aEvolutionary biology. 615 0$aPlant physiology. 615 14$aPaleontology. 615 24$aHistorical Geology. 615 24$aEvolutionary Biology. 615 24$aPlant Physiology. 676 $a561.2 700 $aWang$b Xin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0847441 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299396703321 996 $aThe Dawn Angiosperms$92508583 997 $aUNINA
