Summary

Discover the incredible animals that have disappeared due to competition, mass extinctions, hunting, and human activity. Using artist interpretations, fossils, and scientific drawings, Whitfield resurrects some of the most charismatic creatures to inhabit our planet--as well as those representing an important link or leap in evolutionary terms. Each chapter focuses on a specific period of Earth's history, the animal types that were in ascendance, and the conditions for life at that time. -- adapted from back cover
