Wake up Clara !

L'année dernière, je pensais découvrir la philosophie en classe de terminale. Malheureusement, j'ai seulement découvert Monsieur Gribourdin : " Bonjour à tous... Eh bien je suis désolé, j'ai juste oublié que c'était la rentrée aujourd'hui. " " On n'aura pas le temps de terminer le programme de philosophie, donc on ne va pas le commencer. " " J'ai oublié mes craies, donc je vais écrire avec ma salive. " " Bon... ce n'est pas encore la récré, mais on va faire comme si c'était la récré car je n'en peux plus. " " Le prochain qui répond à la question, je lui donne ce billet de 5 euros. " " Je n'avais pas envie de corriger vos copies, alors vous avez tous 14/20. "

Cambridge Paleobiology Series is a new collection of books in the multidisciplinary area of modern paleobiology. The series will provide accessible and readable reviews of the exciting and topical aspects of paleobiology. The books will be written to appeal to advanced students and to professional earth scientists, paleontologists and biologists who wish to learn more about developments in the subject. Taphonomy: A Process Approach is the first book to review the entire field of taphonomy, the science of fossil preservation. It describes the formation of animal and plant fossils in marine and terrestrial. settings and how this affects deciphering the ecology and extinction of past lifeforms and the environments in which they lived. This volume emphasizes a process approach to taphonomy and reviews the taphonomic behaviour of all important taxa, plant and animal. Taphonomic behaviour is described at a range of scales, from the formation of fossil Lagerstätten to cyclic and secular trends in preservation over hundreds of millions of years. The author discusses applications of taphonomy to the solution of both academic and practical problems, and describes mathematical. models of bioturbation, fossil assemblage formation, and stratigraphic completeness. This book will be useful to anyone interested in the preservation of fossils and the formation of fossil assemblages, but it is aimed primarily at advanced students and professionals working in paleontology, stratigraphy, sedimentology, climate modeling and biogeochemistry.
