Synopsis
With an extensive catalog at its heart, Prehistoric Life profiles hundreds of fascinating species in incredible detail. The story starts in earnest 3.8 billion years ago, with the earliest-known form of life on Earth, a bacteria that still exists today, and journeys through action-packed millennia, charting the appearance of new life forms as well as devastating extinction events. Of course, the ever-popular and endlessly intriguing dinosaurs feature large, but Prehistoric Life gives you the whole picture, and the plants, invertebrates, amphibians, birds, reptiles, and mammals that are the ancestors of today's species also populate its pages, making this book unprecedented in its coverage of prehistory. Specially commissioned artworks use cutting-edge technology to render species in breathtakingly realistic fashion, with astonishing images of prehistoric remains, such as skeletons and fossils, to complete the story. To put all the evidence in context, the concept of geological time is explored, as is the classification of species and how the evidence for their evolution is preserved and can be deciphered., With an extensive catalog at its heart, "Prehistoric Life" profiles hundreds of fascinating species in incredible detail.

SELLER REFUNDED the price of the dammaged book and made things right. Responded within 24 hours. Did the right thing. Would use again if I needed anything. FULL REFUND FOR THE DAMMAGED BOOK. All pictured books seemed acurate. If not for the damage the value would have been great.

    Same as in photo. Packaging could have been better, nothing but a flimsy plastic bag type envelope. Thankfully it arrived undamaged 🙌 and a day early. Fantastic value. Great seller. Thank you!
