A Street Cat Named Bob is the autobiography of James Bowen's life on the street, and the story of the friend he find's in a cat he names Bob. I must admit Bob never stops amazing me in this book, he is so intelligent and loyal! I'd love to meet him myself and I can see why everyone who encounters Bob loves him, too.
The Silurian atmosphere shows a decline from carbon dioxide values of 1200 ppm in the Upper Ordovician. Budyko and others (1987) (see Fig. 8) indicated atmospheric oxygen declines from about 65 percent of PAL (Present Atmospheric Level) to about 35 percent of PAL in the Late Silurian.
Silurian Period. Note the expansion of life following the mass extinction at the end of the Ordovician. During the Silurian Period the first land plants appeared. Marine organisms once again expanded in diversity following the extinction of so many families in the late Ordovician. The Silurian was probably relatively warm even though pCO2 may have been lower. This is thought to be because there was no large land mass over the south polar region during the Silurian period.
