Vertebrate Life (sixth edition)

Harvey Pough - Christine M. Janis - John B. Heiser

Much of my contribution to this book represents original material that I developed during my years of teaching comparative anatomy and vertebrate evolution, such as this diagram showing the basic differences between a fish, an anamniote tetrapod, and an amniote.

My chapter contributions are as follows: The Origin of Vertebrates (Ch. 2), Vertebrate organ Systems and their Evolution (Ch. 3), Geography and Ecology of the Early Paleozoic (Ch. 5), The Earliest Vertebrates (Ch. 6), Geography and Ecology of the Late Paleozoic (Ch. 9), The Origin and Radiation of Tetrapods (Ch. 10), Geography and Ecology of the Mesozoic (Ch. 14), Thy Synapsida and the Evolution of Mammals (Ch. 19), Geography and Ecology of the Cenozoic (Ch. 20), Characteristics of Mammals (Ch. 21), Humans as Vertebrates (Ch. 24).
