The Evolution of North American Rhinoceroses
Editorial Reviews
Review
'Only scientists from before personal computers (let alone laptops) can realise how much work is in the book The Evolution of North American Rhinoceroses of Prothero. It is impressive! ... From every species the holotype, hypodigm, known distribution, diagnosis, a description and a discussion is given. ... This book is not a casual reading book, but I can recommend it to all palaeontologists who are interested in mammal vertebrates.' www.PalArch.nl
'For anyone planning to work on rhinos, it contains a wealth of information on North American specimens and the history of their study. The Evolution of North American Rhinoceroses stands as the only modern comprehensive review of this diverse and intriguing group.' Palaeontological Association Newsletter
Book Description
First appearing about 40 million years ago in North America, rhinoceroses diversified into an incredible array of taxa, with a variety of ecologies that don't resemble any of the five living species. They ranged from delicate long-legged dog-sized forms, to huge hippo-like forms that apparently lived in rivers and lakes. Including a complete systematic review, and discussions of biogeography, evolution and paleoecology, this book summarizes our current knowledge of North American rhinos and constitutes the most complete reference available.
