Contributions to this volume detail paleontologic research in
Manonga Valley, and shed important light on the evolutionary
development of eastern Africa. Chapters provide novel insights into
the taxonomy, paleobiology, ecology, and zoogeographic
relationships of African faunas, as well as lay the foundation for
future geological, paleontological, and paleoecological studies in
this important area. The book concludes with a discussion of the
importance of investigations on broader geographical sites,
including the Manonga Valley, for human evolution research. The
text is supported by 143 illustrations.
Terry Harrison's painting style and easy-going humour makes

This volume 1 and its companion volume 2 present the results of new
investigations into the geology, paleontology and paleoecology of
the early hominin site of Laetoli in northern Tanzania. The site is
one of the most important paleontological and paleoanthropological
sites in Africa, worldrenowned for the discovery of fossils of the
early hominin Australopithecus afarensis, as well as remarkable
trails of its footprints. The first volume provides new evidence on
the geology, geochronology, ecology, ecomorphology and taphonomy of
the site. The second volume describes newly discovered fossil
hominins from Laetoli, belonging to Australopithecus afarensis and
Paranthropus aethiopicus, and presents detailed information on the
systematics and paleobiology of the diverse associated fauna.
Together, these contributions provide one of the most comprehensive
accounts of a fossil hominin site, and they offer important new
insights into the early stages of human evolution and its context.
Recent years have witnessed exciting and important scientific
breakthroughs in the study of Neanderthals and their place in human
evolution which have transformed our appreciation of this group s
paleobiology and evolution. This volume presents cutting-edge
research by leading scientists re-examining the major debates in
Neanderthal research with the use of innovative state-of-the art
methods and exciting new theoretical approaches.
Topics addressed include the re-evaluation of Neanderthal
anatomy, inferred adaptations and habitual activities,
developmental patterns, phylogenetic relationships, and the
Neanderthal extinction; new methods include computer tomography, 3D
geometric morphometrics, ancient DNA and bioenergetics. The diverse
contributions offer fresh insights and advances in Neanderthal and
modern human origins research.

Terry Harrison shows how to paint landscapes in acrylics using a
range of simple brush techniques, and the author's own range of
brushes. He introduces the brushes, which he has designed to carry
out specific techniques, and also explains which other materials
are required, including using a limited palette of paint colours.

going on to explain acrylic painting techniques such as painting a
tree close-up, painting reflections and snow, creating distance and
using texture pastes, glaze medium and palette knives. There are
six beautiful demonstrations with easy to follow text and step by
step photographs, covering popular Terry Harrison subjects: a
summer landscape, a winter scene, a coastal view, a landscape with
a barn, a Venetian scene and a beautiful building covered in
wisteria. Readers who loved Terry's Brush with Acrylics will enjoy

paces in a completely new range of illustrations and

"Sisterhood is the essence of all the wisdom of all ages distilled
into one word. You cannot see sisterhood, neither can you hear it
nor taste it. However, you can feel it 100x a day. It's a pat on
the back, a smile of encouragement. It's someone to share with, to
celebrate your achievements." - Anonymous
