Product Description

Product Description

Experience a story 3.8 billion years in the making, with this unparalleled visual guide to prehistoric life

Unprecedented visual detail, comprehensive entries on hundreds of species and the latest research provides the whole picture of the creatures and plants that represent Earth's prehistoric life.

Journey through the millennia and explore the rise and fall of successive organisms, devastating extinctions and the knife-edge progress of evolution. Fantastic photographs and images present each species in exceptional clarity, including 3D CT scans that transform inert fossils into species that almost live and breath on the page.

Discover a huge catalogue, profiling a vast and diverse array of plants, fungi, invertebrates, amphibians, birds, reptiles and mammals and discover how they have evolved through time.

From giant dinosaurs to lesser-known species that faced a similar, cataclysmic demise, this is a fascinating and essential reference on prehistoric life for the whole family.

Format:Hardcover
Brilliant book for everyone interested in the subject. Note this book goes under a variety of titles for some reason. I particularly like the use of the human body for comparison with the illustrations to show scale. The computer generated artwork is terrific. This is probably one of the best books to show all prehistoric life and not just the dinosaurs, particularly giant snakes, crocs and sharks. Recommended for all ages.

prehistoric life 14 Feb 2010
Format:Hardcover
Not such a presentational disaster as other pictorial DK books but deficiencies remain namely having illustrations and pictures covering one and a half to two pages.Particularly annoying are the maps split down the middle by creases when theycould be fitted on one page. The print size should have been larger.
The authors and consultants are tobe congratulated for thier very well presented,researched and erudite work.
The book has 3 sections 1)young earth 2)life on earth and 3)the rise of humans. Each section is comprehensive -this book is the only one you will need on prehistoric life.
