The World Before the Deluge
Louis Figuier and Henry William Bristow
Before the first human walked, the earth passed through strange ages of monsters and drowned forests, each recorded in stone. Louis Figuier reconstructs those vanished worlds from the fossil record, walking backward through the geological ages. Famous for its dramatic scenes of prehistoric life. Travel to the earth as it was long before the age of humankind.
