Prehistoric Life: The Definitive Visual History of Life on Earth Review

Years ago my course of study was a B.S. in anthropology and in my opinion this book is not only a fine, detailed one of both words and photos for both paleontology and prehistory, but will remain so for the near future. A time will come no doubt when another volume will update the information, however, for now this is a book most readers will enjoy.

My wife said upon seeing the book something as "Wow, what a coffee table book". I answered yes but if read much more indeed. She of course referred to the overall size of this book, which is mammoth compared to most scholarly books. The book will far surpass the tag "coffee table book" once the reader begins to mine its depths. I read Scientific American magazine each month and for any reader who does likewise cannot see that this book and subject will not be a veritable feast for their eyes and brain.

I can easily offer this book up to readers who have interest in the subject of prehistoric life up to present time. The book may not be the best that has ever been, nor it may not be the best of all time and all time to come, but it is one fine book indeed for the present time.

Prehistoric Life: The Definitive Visual History of Life on Earth Overview

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.

Prehistoric intersts? - Per Topsøe-Jensen -
Should you or your teenage children be interested in prehistoric life on Earth then this visual history book is a must.
Not only is the text and time graphs of excellent quality, so are all the pictures.
You will find too much information and have to make a small personal plan for absorbing everything.
The book is modern, may be a bit heavy, but a pleasure to study, also for readers entering the prehistoric age for the first time.
