Insect fossil treasures from the dinosaur era (165 to 130 Ma) in northeastern China are showcased in this book with their silent stories. Not only their taxonomy and morphology, but also their potential implications on natural sciences are presented here. Besides academic science, we highlight popular science by providing information on extant insects and insect-related stories. Elegant and beautiful photos of fossil and extant insects are shown to illustrated our stories while serving as visual arts. In addition to the 18 insect orders (Chapters 5 to 22), the book also covers fossil sites (1 and 4 ), palaeogeology (2), co-existing animals and plants (3), palaeo-ecosystems (23), pollination and “flower” visits (24) and insect mimicry (25). Judging by the high diversity and the large population of the fossil insects, insects have certainly played critical roles in the evolution and eco-systems over eons, which in turn have made insect a highly successful class. Intended to appeal to a broad spectrum of readers (such as palaeontologists, entomologists, evolutionists, palaeoecologists, fossil collectors, naturalists, hobbyists and students), we hope that readers will have fun while gaining new understanding and enjoying the artistic presentations. New fossil findings and further studies will continue to expand knowledge and deepen understanding in these fields.

This book provides a comprehensive discussion of Asian dinosaur research history. More than 600 photographs and illustrations will help readers to travel back in time to explore the lost world of dinosaurs, those from China in particular. The readers will also learn stories about how scholars and amateurs, who worked very hard in Asia for generations, have brought these magnificent creatures back to life. We encourage future enthusiast to continue in writing a new history of dinosaur panorama of our continent. In order to make the reading of this book easier the appendices contain lists f all known Asian dinosaurs and the index the local names mentioned in this book.

Upper Carboniferous and Lower Permian Fusulinids from Western GuizhouIn Chinese with English summary (P245―273)
http://www.hceis.com/book.asp?id=8801****************************************************
Marine Upper Carboniferous and Lower Permian sediments are widely distributed in Panxian, weining and Shuicheng of western Guizhou. They are extensively exposed in simple structures and are represented by several hundreds-of-metres thick rocks, most of which are limestones containing abundant fusulinid foraminifers. The rock succession is normal. In panxian section, the fusulinids are associated with conodonts and ammonoids. The fusulinids described and illustrated comprise 357 species and subspecies belonging to 35 genera, of which 21 species are new forms.
Order Fusulinida Fursenko, 1958
Superfamily fusulinacea Moeller, 1878
