Primate Adaptation and Evolution, Fourth Edition provides key features of extant families and references to more detailed texts. The book sets the scene and creates space for a thorough updating of exciting developments in primate paleontology and a reconstruction through early hominid species of our own human origins. This updated version covers recent developments in primate paleontology, the latest taxonomy, and includes new visuals, including helpful illustrations and evolutionary trees. It is an ideal text for undergraduate and post-graduate students studying the evolution and functional ecology of primates and early fossil hominids.The book retains its grounding in the extant primate groups as the best way to understand the fossil trail and evolution of these modern forms. However, this coverage is now more streamlined, referring to the many new and excellent books on living primate ecology and adaptation - a field that has burgeoned since this book's first publication.

Climate and Natural Hazard Risks is an in-depth examination of the physical, environmental, economic, and social impacts of climate change and natural hazards on vulnerable populations in different areas around the world. The authors open with the simple question “what is risk?,” taking a detailed look at global trends and risk frameworks as they relate to climate change. From there, the chapters systematically review different hazards and their implications for risk and resilience (hurricanes, cyclones, flooding, extreme temperatures, food insecurity, earthquakes, tsunamis). The authors then delve into the latest research and data surrounding probabilistic hazard assessment and multi-hazard risk assessment. The book closes with a thoughtful discussion on resilience and the wide-reaching impacts of environmental transitions. Professionals working across climate change, environmental risk assessment, and disaster resilience will find much to consider in this thought-provoking text.
