Not worth the money
I have dwarfism and was hoping this was a booklet about dwarfism in general that I could share with friends and relatives..however this book is nothing at all like it states. It is mainly about dwarfs in the media and not a medical guide at all. Don't waste your money on buying this unless you want to throw money away. You can go online and get the same information it has in here and for less money. ... Read more

Product Description
Insular dwarfism, a form of Phyletic dwarfism, is theprocess and condition of the reduction in size of largeanimals ? typically mammals but also dinosaurs ? when theirpopulation's gene pool is limited to a very smallenvironment, primarily islands. This natural process isdistinct from the intentional creation of dwarf breeds,called dwarfing.This process has occurred many timesthroughout evolutionary history, with examples includingdinosaurs, like Europasaurus, and modern animals such aselephants and their relatives.There are several proposedexplanations for the mechanism which produces such dwarfism,which are often considered likely to be co-contributingfactors. One explanation is an evolved gene-encoded responseto environmental stress. Another is a selective processwhere only smaller animals trapped on the island survive, asfood declines to a borderline level. The smaller animalsneed fewer resources, and so are more likely to get past thebreak-point where population decline allows food sources toreplenish enough for the survivors to flourish. ...
