Books: oaks & mammals
Here are the two most recent books I have enjoyed reading, one on the evolution of animals (mammals) and the other on the ecology and evolution of plants (oaks).
This book by Andrew Hipp is not just about oaks but presents seven beautifully written lectures on the evolutionary ecology of plants using oaks as the model.
A 300-My journey of mammals, from small scaly Synapsids that split from Diapsids (reptiles), to impressive elephants, whales, and primates, including humans; with the potential future Age of Rodents. Easy to read, Steve Brusatte’s account of the evolution of mammals is nicely crafted.
