Items related to The Land Before Us: The Making of Ancient Alberta
Albertans are not the only ones to benefit from their geologic past. Alberta is one of those rare regions where the history of an entire planet can be read with compelling precision. Recent abundant evidence from Alberta's landscape has contributed significantly to what we know about Earth's evolution. Drawing on such evidence, scientists at the world-renowned Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology offer a dramatic and vividly detailed chronicle of Earth history. With more than 135 maps, timelines, line drawings and full-colour illustrations, this easy-to-read volume starts with the Big Bang and ends with the modern era - everything readers need to know about the making of ancient Alberta and the extraordinary story of the land before us.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. First Thus. Synopsis: The past is very much part of Alberta's present. From Devonian pools plumbed by today's oil industry to Cenozoic rangelands bordering the Rockies, the livelihood of many Albertans is touched directly by the ancient past. Lavishly illustrated and lovingly produced, this book quarries the fossil record to reveal its depth and richness and to connect it to the present. Drawing on the famous Royal Tyrrell Museum's fossil collections and its world-renowned scientists, this is a wide-ranging, accessible natural history book that speaks not only of Earth but of ourselves.
