The rocks are medals struck by time, each fossil a coin of a vanished world. Gideon Mantell, who discovered the Iguanodon, reads the record of ancient life stamped in stone. Rich, enthusiastic, and full of the romance of early paleontology. A classic that made the fossil record thrilling to a general audience. Collect the medals of creation and read the deep past they preserve.

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.
