Reading Siva is an illustrated bibliography on the Hindu god Siva
in the arts, crafts, coins, seals and inscriptions from South and
Southeast Asia. It results from a century of ABIA bibliographic
work and covers over 1500 academic publications since 1672. This
scholarly and multi-disciplinary volume offers keyword-indexed
annotations. The detailed indices on authors, geographic terms and
subjects enable an easy search through the data. Links with the
entries to resource repositories (such as JSTOR, Persee, Project
MUSE, Academia.edu, ResearchGate and the Internet Archive) and
links added to the sumptuous illustrations immediately take you to
these resource sites.
The sauropods form one of the three great dinosaur groups. The
sauropod dinosaurs roamed the planet for millions of years, with
creatures ranging from the smallest of the sauropods,
Magyarosaurus, to the huge Brachiosaurus. This one-of-a-kind
compendium covers all known sauropod species and features more than
2,000 diagrams and technical drawings alongside hundreds of
full-colour reconstructions of specimens. The book is divided into
sections that make it easy to navigate the amazing world of
sauropods. 'Comparing Species' is organized by taxonomic group and
gives comparisons of the size of species, how long ago they lived,
and when they were discovered. 'Mesozoic Calendar' shows the
positions of the continents at different geological time periods.
'Prehistoric Puzzle' compares bones, teeth, and feathers while
'Sauropod Life' answers questions such as what did they eat and
which was the most intelligent.
