This book discusses the controversial and conflicting hypotheses on the origin of angiosperms, which was generally assumed to be restricted to the Cretaceous and later ages. Since publishing the first edition of "The Dawn of Angiosperms" in 2010, several important advances have been made in this field of science, namely 1) the discovery of new fossil angiosperms from the Jurassic; 2) European researchers discovering angiosperm-like pollen from the Triassic; and most importantly 3) the discovery of a perfect flower from the Jurassic.

Produktbeschreibung
This book discusses the controversial and conflicting hypotheses on the origin of angiosperms, which was generally assumed to be restricted to the Cretaceous and later ages. Since publishing the first edition of "The Dawn of Angiosperms" in 2010, several important advances have been made in this field of science, namely 1) the discovery of new fossil angiosperms from the Jurassic; 2) European researchers discovering angiosperm-like pollen from the Triassic; and most importantly 3) the discovery of a perfect flower from the Jurassic. All of these findings are at odds with the currently widely accepted evolutionary theories, and thus call upon us to critically reassess botanical theory.

Accordingly, the new edition of this book not only includes more new fossil taxa, but also documents them in greater detail and corrects many commonly held misconceptions. In so doing, it makes related studies and teaching on the early history of angiosperms more realistic, concrete, andtangible, providing concrete fossil evidence as the basis for future research, and helping to distinguish the most accurate botanical hypotheses.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Jun-wei Zhu received the Ph.D. degree in Control theory and Engineering from Northeastern University, Shenyang, in Jul. 2016. His research is mainly focused on Fault Diagnosis, Fault-Tolerant control, and Control of Network Systems. Especially, his major research results are mostly about the fault estimation observer design and the observer-based fault-tolerant control. During the doctorate study period, he has participated in many academic conferences, such as WCICA, CCC, CCDC. Besides, he was also a reviewer for some well-known scientific magazines in the field of control science, for instance, IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, Automatica, International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, etc.
