Prior to the emergence of paleontology and comparative anatomy as scientific disciplines at the end of the 18th century, it was generally that there were species of animals that had disappeared completely. The term "extinction" originally applied to the extinguishing of fires or erasing of one's debt. It was not until 1784 that the term extinction was used to denote the complete eradication of a species of living being. In 1901, Frederic A. Lucas penned an overview of vertebrate animals whose only evidence of being remained in fossil records. The book focuses primarily of vertebrate animals, from fish to mammals. ( Jeffery Smith)
Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard
IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated). Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

I apologize for being tardy on getting this book started. Right after I got things ready to go, the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at the college appointed me as Dean of Science and Mathematics. It was a bit of a surprise in that I hadn't applied for the position; it was the result of some shifts and changes in the college's leadership. Because we are in the middle of the semester, I'm a full time administrator who still has a full time job teaching. I hope when things settle down a bit, I can get started on this book. Next semester, I will have only 1 full time job, but I do expect to get started on this book this semester.
Greetings Dave.
I am back to having only one full time job now, so I will be able to get back onto a regular schedule of recordings.
For the current book, should I begin the first chapter (which is actually Chapter 0) in the following manner?
INTRODUCTORY AND EXPLANATORY of Animals of the Past.
This is a LibriVox recording.

I hope I did everything okay. While I've only been out of touch with Librivox for a few months, it feels like much longer. Fortunately, I'm very happy to be productive again.
