Synopsis
Discover the amazing world of extinct animals and how scientists learn about them from fossils, rocks, and pictures.
This edition presents a corrected shorthand report of lectures given during the Christmas holidays 1903–1904 at the Royal Institution, London. It aims to spark interest in a fascinating study and offers a clear look at the strange and wonderful history of creatures that no longer walk the earth. The book uses photographs and process illustrations to bring extinct animals to life for younger readers.
- See how scientists read the earth’s strata to place fossils in time and space, from ancient reptiles to early mammals.
- Meet notable extinct species such as Pariasaurus and Dimetrodon, with scenes of their discovery and study in laboratories and nodules.
- Explore how brains, teeth, and bones reveal how these animals lived and how they compare with living creatures.
- Follow dramatic fieldwork—from river cliffs and remote quarries to museum displays and restored skeletons.
Ideal for readers curious about natural history, fossils, and the story of life on Earth.
