About this book

Hypersea: Life on Land by Dianna L. S. McMenamin. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780231075305.

The McMenamins (geology, Mount Holyoke College) present a new theory of how life moved from the sea to the harsh environment of land, and why land life has diversified more than marine life. They discuss Hypersea in the fossil record, plant exploitation of osmosis, hypermarine aspects of plants and fungi, terrestrial challenges for animal respiration, and Hypersea as a biogeological system. Includes numerous b&w photos. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
