Five kingdoms : an illustrated guide to the phyla of life on earth by
Lynn Margulis(
Book
)
69 editions published between 1981 and 2002 in English and French and held by 3,565 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
An all-inclusive catalogue of the world's living diversity, Five Kingdoms defines and describes the major divisions, or phyla, of nature's five great kingdoms - bacteria, protoctists, animals, fungi, and plants - using a modern classification scheme that is consistent with both the fossil record and molecular data. Generously illustrated and remarkably easy to follow, it not only allows readers to sample the full range of life forms inhabiting our planet but to familiarize themselves with the taxonomic theories by which all organisms' origins and distinctive characteristics are traced and classified

Symbiotic planet : a new look at evolution by
Lynn Margulis(
Book
)
46 editions published between 1995 and 2013 in 8 languages and held by 1,529 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Although Charles Darwin's theory of evolution laid the foundations of modern biology, it did not tell the whole story. Most remarkably, The Origin of Species said very little about, of all things, the origins of species. Darwin and his modern successors have shown very convincingly how inherited variations are naturally selected, but they leave unanswered how variant organisms come to be in the first place." "In Symbiotic Planet, renowned scientist Lynn Margulis shows that symbiosis, which simply means members of different species living in physical contact with each other, is crucial to the origins of evolutionary novelty. Ranging from bacteria, the smallest kinds of life, to the largest - the living Earth itself - Margulis explains the symbiotic origins of many of evolution's most important innovations." "Along the way, Margulis describes her initiation into the world of science and the early steps in the present revolution in evolutionary biology; the importance of species classification for how we think about the living world; and the way "academic apartheid" can block scientific advancement."--Jacket

Environmental evolution : effects of the origin and evolution of life on planet earth by
Lynn Margulis(
Book
)
25 editions published between 1992 and 2000 in English and held by 1,418 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This text provides an accessible introduction to critical changes in the biosphere that have occurred since life's origin. Based on a course developed by Lynn Margulis and colleagues over many years, it presents an integrated view of how our planet evolved. Environmental Evolution differs from Earth-science textbooks in its consideration of geology as it is shaped by life. Unlike other biology textbooks, it considers geological and atmospheric changes through time. Fifteen scientists reflect on major events in the history of life on Earth. Comparisons with the atmospheres of other planets, laboratory studies on the origins of life, and fossil evidence of microbial communities all contribute to the story of early life and its environment. The ability of modern bacteria to trap, bind, and precipitate calcium carbonate explains the presence of stromatolites from the Archean and Proterozoic eons. Evidence from cell biology provides clues to the origin of eukaryotic cells by multiple serial symbiosis. Transcending academic boundaries, the Gaia hypothesis show how the sensing, growing, excreting, gas-exchanging, sediment-binding biota (plants, animals, and microbes) have irreversibly altered the third planet--from the origin of life some 4 billion years ago to the present. Environmental Evolution includes a glossary, charts and tables, lists of recommended readings, and an appendix that offers strategies for teaching, sample syllabi, and suggestions for assignments and class presentations

What is life? by
Lynn Margulis(
Book
)
29 editions published between 1995 and 2006 in 3 languages and held by 1,333 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In a lusciously illustrated format, a noted microbiologist and her son give multifaceted answers to the title's question. Essentially, any given cell is a window to the past through which Margulis and her scientific colleagues can view early environmental conditions. The initial chapters describe what life is at its most minimal--a self-organizing, self-preserving, and self-reproducing system of matter--then the authors move into the major division of living beings: bacteria, and everything else, termed eukaryotes. How the 'everything else' came about, begetting increasing levels of cellular then multicellular order, stemmed from the odd symbiotic results of microbe swallowing microbe. To reinforce their exuberant narrative of that teeming scene, the authors conclude each topic with a pithy, eye-grabbing definition of life. Chapters on the animal, fungus, and plant kingdoms wind up this colorful volume. An informative focus on the microscopic that is richly compatible with the macroscopic paleobiology of Stephen Jay Gould's Book of Life (1993); libraries having both books deliver patrons a one-two punch. - Gilbert Taylor--BL 09/01/1995

Kingdoms & domains : an illustrated guide to the phyla of life on Earth by
Lynn Margulis(
)
23 editions published between 2008 and 2009 in English and held by 570 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"This extraordinary, all inclusive catalogue of the world's living organisms describes the diversity of the major groups, or phyla, of nature's most inclusive taxa. Developed after consultation with specialists, this modern classification scheme is consistent both with the fossil record and with recent molecular, morphological and metabolic data. Generously illustrated, now in full color, Kingdoms and Domains is remarkably easy to read. It accesses the full range of life forms that still inhabit our planet and logically and explicitly classifies them according to their evolutionary relationships. Definitive characteristics of each phylum are professionally described in ways that, unlike most scientific literature, profoundly respect the needs of educators, students and nature lovers. This work is meant to be of interest to all evolutionists as well as to conservationists, ecologists, genomicists, geographers, microbiologists, museum curators, oceanographers, paleontologists and especially nature lovers whether artists, gardeners or environmental activists."--Jacket

Symbiosis in cell evolution : microbial communities in the Archean and Proterozoic eons by
Lynn Margulis(
Book
)
17 editions published between 1992 and 1993 in English and Japanese and held by 442 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The monograph examines the evolution of microorganisms and the importance of symbiosis as a mechanism of evolution. Initial chapters discuss serial endosymbiosis theory, diversity, and cell evolution in perspective. The period from prebiotic times through the development of symbiosis is examined in chapters about the Earth before cells, evolution before oxygen, atmospheric oxygen from photosynthesis, and symbiogenesis. Symbiotic evolution is examined in chapters about nuclei, mitosis, and undulipodia; undulipodia from spirochetes; mitochondria; and plastids. The work is summarized with a look at consequences of these theories in the Phanerozoic era
