ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 2004). 2004 1st edition. 4to (180 x 259mm). Ppviii,411. Colour paintings to preliminaries, b/w photographs and illustrations, extensive bibliography. Light tan boards, gilt titles to green cloth spine. Unobtrusive bump to one corner but…very good in dust-wrapper. Mihirungs are enormous flghtless birds which figure prominently in the myths and legends of the Australian Aborigines. Parallel to this, the Australian fossil record boasts several genera of enormous flightless birds, all members of the family Dromornithidae. Some dromornithid species were extant during the first couple of millenia of human occupation of the continent, and so presumably were mihirungs. "The smaller birds were one and a half meters tall and weighed about sixty kilograms; the largest were three meters tall and weighed nearly half a metric ton. This book is the first major study of this unique and highly diverse group. It introduces a wealth of knowledge about the dromornithids that has accumulated over the past two decades and that has led to an understanding of the relatiionships of these birds. .For the first time since their recognition in the nineteenth century, here is as complete a synthesis as possible of current information about this .family of birds." Chapters include: Introduction. Part One, Discovery: The discovery of the dromornithids. Part Two, Systematics and Morphology: Mihirungs, extinct gigantic Australian geese; Classification; Overview of Dromornithid species, localities and associated fauna; Description of dromornithid structure; Relationships and phylogeny; Dromornithids and the origin of anseriform birds; Relationships within the dromornithdae. Part Three, Paleobiology: Appearance, posture, and stature; Body mass estimations; Could dromornithids run?; The feeding apparatus; Economy of scale. Part Four: Evidence from local faunas; Habitat and diet; Evolution. Conclusion. .

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Over millions of years, Australia's unique biodiversity has produced a large cabinet of curiosities. Among the weirder members of this group were the Mihirungs, members of the now extinct family Dromornithidae. Made up of several genera of flightless birds--among them one of the very largest b…irds that ever lived--the dromornithids ranged from 60-kilogram beasts, 1.5 meters tall, to giants twice that size, weighing nearly half a metric ton. They were, by orders of magnitude, the largest "geese" that ever lived. One species was comparable in size to the Elephantbird of Madagascar and the Giant Moa of New Zealand. This book is the first major study of this unique and highly diverse group. It aims to present as complete a synthesis as possible of current information about this fascinating family of birds. Peter F. Murray is a researcher at the Museum of Central Australia in Alice Springs. Patricia Vickers-Rich holds a Chair in Palaeontology at Monash University, where she lectures in the Earth Sciences Department. She is co-author (with Thomas H.Rich) of Wildlife of Gondwana: Dinosaurs and Other Vertebrates from the Ancient Supercontinent (IUP, 2000) and Dinosaurs of Darkness (IUP, 2000). Over millions of years, Australia's biodiversity has produced a large cabinet of curiosities. Among the weirder members of this group were the Mihirungs, members of the extinct family Dromornithidae. This book is the study of this diverse group. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
