Fossils from critical time periods are being described at unprecedented rates and modern phylogenetic analyses have provided a framework for the interrelationships of the extant groups. This book gives an overview of the avian fossil record and its paleobiological significance, and it is the only up-to-date textbook that covers both Mesozoic and more modern-type Cenozoic birds in some detail. The reader is introduced to key features of basal avians and the morphological transformations that have occurred in the evolution towards modern birds. An account of the Cenozoic fossil record sheds light on the biogeographic history of the extant avian groups and discusses fossils in the context of current phylogenetic hypotheses. This review of the evolutionary history of birds not only addresses students and established researchers, but it may also be a useful source of information for anyone else with an interest in the evolution of birds and a moderate background in biology and geology" --$cFrom the publisher. 410 0$aTopics in paleobiology series. 606 $aBirds, Fossil 606 $aPaleobiology 615 0$aBirds, Fossil. 615 0$aPaleobiology. 676 $a568 700 $aMayr$b Gerald$0996071 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910135034803321 996 $aAvian evolution$92282701 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04278nam 2201045 a 450 001 9910779923403321 005 20211005004124.0 010 $a1-282-35652-6 010 $a0-520-91800-2 010 $a9786612356520 010 $a1-59734-891-0 024 7 $a10.1525/9780520918009 035 $a(CKB)111056485634760 035 $a(EBL)223232 035 $a(OCoLC)475927410 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000243554 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11192391 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000243554 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10159049 035 $a(PQKB)10124064 035 $a(OCoLC)49570140 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse30702 035 $a(DE-B1597)520488 035 $a(OCoLC)1114826491 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780520918009 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL223232 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10054458 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL235652 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC223232 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111056485634760 100 $a19990916d2000 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn#---|u||u 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aSelected letters$b[electronic resource] /$fCharles Olson ; edited by Ralph Maud 210 $aBerkeley $cUniversity of California Press$dc2000 215 $a1 online resource (534 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 0 $a0-520-20580-4 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 433-448) and index. 327 $tFront matter --$tContents --$tIntroduction --$tLibrary Sources for the Charles Olson Letters in This Volume --$tA Chronology of Charles Olson's Life and Correspondence --$tI --$tII --$tIII --$tIV --$tV --$tVI --$tVII --$tVIII --$tIX --$tX --$tXI --$tBibliography --$tAnnotated Index 330 $aFor Charles Olson, letters were not only a daily means of communication with friends but were at the same time a vehicle for exploratory thought. In fact, many of Olson's finest works, including Projective Verse and the Maximus Poems, were formulated as letters. Olson's letters are important to an understanding of his definition of the postmodern, and through the play of mind exhibited here we recognize him as one of the vital thinkers of the twentieth century. In this volume, edited and annotated by Ralph Maud, we see Olson at the height of his powers and also at his most human. Nearly 200 letters, selected from a known 3,000, demonstrate the wide range of Olson's interests and the depth of his concern for the future. Maud includes letters to friends and loved ones, job and grant applications, letters of recommendation, and Black Mountain College business letters, as well as correspondence illuminating Olson's poetics. As we read through the letters, which span the years from 1931, when Olson was an undergraduate, to his death in 1970, a fascinating portrait of this complex poet and thinker emerges. 606 $aPoets, American$y20th century$vCorrespondence 610 $a20th century. 610 $aaesthetics. 610 $aalbert erskine. 610 $aallen ginsberg. 610 $aanne bosshard. 610 $abarbara denny. 610 $ablack mountain college. 610 $acorrespondence. 610 $adavid ignatow. 610 $adonald sutherland. 610 $aedward dahlberg. 610 $aezra pound. 610 $afulbright. 610 $aguggenheim. 610 $ajohn berryman. 610 $ajohn finch. 610 $ajung. 610 $aletters. 610 $amaximus poems. 610 $amemoir. 610 $amerce cunningham. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apeter anastas. 610 $apoetics. 610 $apostmodern. 610 $aprojective verse. 610 $arhodes scholarship. 610 $astieglitz. 610 $avan wyck brooks. 610 $avincent ferrini. 610 $awaldo frank. 610 $awilbert snow. 610 $awilliam carlos williams. 615 0$aPoets, American 676 $a811/.54 676 $aB 700 $aOlson$b Charles$f1910-1970.$0469417 701 $aMaud$b Ralph$0456499 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779923403321 996 $aSelected letters$93676601 997 $aUNINA
