Before the mammoth there were stranger giants still. Frederic Lucas brings extinct animals back through reconstruction and bone, explaining how paleontologists read a whole beast from a fragment and picture the vanished worlds it walked. Clear, illustrated, made for the curious. Meet the creatures that ruled the earth long before us.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
