Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Animals

Více o knize

About 4,500 million years ago the Earth came into being. Time passed - millions and millions of years - as the Earth cooled. Then, about 600 million years ago, life began to develop.The first minute living things - tiny plants, bacteria and viruses - appeared in the seas, releasing life-giving oxygen. Gradually the seas became filled with living creatures. After another few million years came the fish, followed by amphibians and then the reptiles.We know a great deal about those strange-looking early animals and the world they lived in, from fossils found in the Earth's rock layers. We know what they ate, what they looked like, and how they lived and died.Fascinating evidence of early life can be found by anyone, and this beautifully illustrated book will show you what to look for and how to identify what you find.Bibliographical note: No ISBNs are quoted for this hardback edition because it would appear that the same ISBNs - 0721475051 and 9780721475059 - were used for the paperback, which is already recorded on goodreads.
