Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

144 pages. Ex Library copy with some of the usual library markings. The spine is torn and partially separated and reglued. Includes Preface; Introduction by Dr. Frederic A. Lucas; and chapters on The Mighty Dinosaurs; How a Dinosaur was buried in the Rock; How the Dinosaur was taken from the Rock; Despots of the Seas; The Flying Reptiles; The Little-brained Dinosaurs; Titanotheres and Others; Mammoths and Mastodons; and Some South American Rulers. The aim of this book is to interest young people in the life that was lived on this earth before man appeared. Jennie Irene Mix (1862-1925) was a music critic, journalist, novelist, and editor. She worked as a music critic for the Toledo Times and book review editor and critic for the Pittsburgh Post. During the 1920s, she was one of only a few female editors covering Radio in journalism, working as an editor at Radio Broadcast (Magazine). Mix wrote books on several topics, including a popular novel, At Fame's Gateway; the Romance of a Pianiste, Mighty animals: being short talks about some of the animals which lived on this earth before man appeared, and Great pictures and their painters: a series of articles on some of the Medici prints owned by the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. Mighty Animals was an apparent departure from previous writing topics. It was one of the first texts on paleontology written for children. It includes a foreword by the Director of American Museum of Natural History, Dr. Frederic Lucas. The book discusses various types of extinct animals, how fossils are formed, and how field work is conducted, with illustrations. Frederic Augustus Lucas, Sc.D. (March 25, 1852 - February 9, 1929) was a zoologist who served as a curator of the Brooklyn Museum and director of the American Museum of Natural History. He was an expert on the osteology and anatomy of birds. Lucas came to be recognized by his contemporaries as an authority on ancient animals. His description of himself was that of "all round" naturalist, a type specimen he regarded regretfully as fast disappearing. Because of his associations at the National Museum he was able to meet and associate with many men of this type, Hornaday, Akeley, Ward, Howell, etc., people whose recognition was based on their writings as explorers rather than as academicians. After instruction in the techniques of scientific writing and manuscript preparation by a friend early in his career, he published more than 350 articles, primarily in the area of avian osteology but also relating to natural history and the role of the museum and public education.
