The recognisable familiar world in visual appearance of the astonishing prehistoric mammals by Peppercorn (sydney australia)  4 Stars
September 30, 2009
National geographic have once again brought out and presented us readers with prehistoric mammals a recognisable familar world with stunningly breathtaking photograph-like illustrations that are like transporting you back in time machine but without anyneed to go anywhere and with all sorts of structural, size charts detailed profiles on each individual species and whole stack more scientific information which is interesting to read because it,s fascinating for reference in discovery of new worlds.Finally i would like to add that the only putoff to this book is that the scientific names are incorrect or to more naturally put it wrong because of it,s classification data but it is still nonetheless worth buying whether you borrow it or keep it for reading four and half stars from me.

January 14, 2009
Bought this book as a Christmas gift for my 12-year-old. It was one of the things she wanted most on her list. If you know of someone interested in prehistoric mammals, this book is a great source of information.

National Geographic Prehistoric Mammals by Edward Ost (Warminster, PA)  3 Stars
September 09, 2007
In contrast to a previous book written by Alan Turner and illustrated by Muricio Anton, "The Big Cats and their fossil relatives," This book disappoints. The artwork by Anton is excellent, but the text is superficial and light. A very nice coffee table book for the general reader, and perhaps a very good introduction for children, age 12 and older.

| Ice Age Mammals of North America

The time is the Pleistocene epoch, about 2 million to 10,000 years ago. Continent-size ice sheets cover 30 percent of the earth's landmass, and strange creatures rove the landscape. Ice Age Mammals of North America transports you to the world of saber-tooth cats, woolly mammoths, four-hundred-pound beavers, and twenty-foot-tall ground sloths. Illustrated descriptions of the animals form the heart of the book and the final chapter explores why so many of these animals were extinct by the end of...

| After the Dinosaurs: The Age of Mammals (Life of the Past)
by Donald R. Prothero (Author)
Perhaps nudged over the evolutionary cliff by a giant boloid striking the earth, the incredible and fascinating group of animals called dinosaurs became extinct some 65 million years ago (except for their feathered descendants). In their place evolved an enormous variety of land creatures, especially the mammals, which in their way were every bit as remarkable as their Mesozoic cousins. The Age of Mammals, the Cenozoic Era, has never had its Jurassic Park, but it was an amazing time in...
