Reviews
"Far from a dry scientific textbook, this is a charming celebration of fossils and those who study them." -- Publishers Weekly, "[ Cruisin' the Fossil Freeway is] an adventure story, a memoir, a handbook, a history, a guide. And a refreshing sense that the boisterous Earth is resilient and enduring" --Peter Heller, contributing editor for Outside and National Geographic Adventure magazines, "In the long and storied history of fossil-hunting, the dynamic duo of Johnson and Troll is unique. No one else has made this grueling work look like so much fun. Once again, they've returned from an 'epoch' road trip laden with tales and images that are at once joyfully accessible and deeply informative. And the colors! They'll knock your eyes out."-- John Vaillant, author of The Tiger and The Golden Spruce, "This is a fun and informative book that moves briskly, bringing science and scientists alive." --David A. James, Anchorage Daily News, "[ Cruisin' the Fossil Freeway ] is a paleontological odyssey that manages to be informative, witty, educational, and enormously fun" --Simon Winchester, author of The Map That Changed the World, " Cruisin' the Fossil Coastline packs written and visual stories from cover to cover--all infused with a genuine passion for science and the joy of discovery." --Susan Ewing, author of Resurrecting the Shark, "[ Cruisin' the Fossil Freeway ] is a fantastic work of art that is truly fanciful and awe inspiring, catching the real flavor of a bygone life." -- Science Books and Films, "Johnson and Troll have done it again, congratulations!

Synopsis
In this long-awaited sequel Kirk Johnson and Ray Troll are back on a road trip--driving, flying, and boating their way from Baja, California to northern Alaska in search of the fossil secrets of North America's Pacific coast. They hunt for fossils, visit museums, meet scientists and paleonerds, and sleuth out untold stories of extinct worlds. As one of the oldest coasts on earth, the west coast is a rich ground for fossil discovery. Its wonders include extinct marine mammals, pygmy mammoths, oyster bears, immense ammonites, shark-bitten camels, polar dinosaurs, Alaskan palms, California walruses, and a lava-baked rhinoceros. Join in for a fossil journey through deep time and discover how the west coast became the place it is today.

Seller feedback (3,584)
- e***a (272)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSeller dispatched in approx 24hr. Book as described & all arrived fine as it was perfectly packaged for an international trip from the US to me in the UK. Padded envelope with thick cardboard spacer to keep the paperback straight and the book was snuggly wrapped in a plastic sheet to keep corners tight & unbumped. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT and I wish all sellers shipped books like this. It makes me so happy when sellers pay attention to details - nothing excessive, just perfect. Book even smelt nice :)
- 7***3 (86)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseA very trustworthy and communicative seller! The price of the books he sold me was so incredible, that I couldn't believe it until I received them. Books arrived in amazing condition (better than the photos conveyed) and the price and speed of shipping was the best I think I've had on eBay -- books arrived over 20 days before they were supposed to! Will buy from this seller again if I see an item I would like.6 VOLUME SET OF DAVE SIM & GERHARD BOOKS 6, 7, 8, 13 14, 15 GRAPHIC NOVELS (#235896476642)
