| Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Prehistoric World | Palmer, Dr. Douglas | This excellent book is a must for the nature loving families of the world. It begins with a story of the earths geology through the various time periods, but the most interesting part is the survey by the different animal groups. Most of us are familiar with the dinosaurs, but when one is introduced again to the dinosaurs in conjunction with a survey of the early fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals one can not help but be impressed with many of the non-dinosaur animals that preceded modern times. For example, one is introduced to the Indricotherium in the Rhinoceros group that had a weight of 33 tons (four times the weight of the heaviest modern elephant). Also, one is impressed with the size of some of the early birds such as Osteodontornis with a wingspan of up to 20 feet. |
