I enjoyed this book. The information on the fossils was interesting, with a lot of great supporting visuals, especially the reconstruction of the extinct animals. I enjoyed the author’s journey and the biographical information. The author more than adequately communicated his enthusiasm for the material, to the point where to me, he sometimes provided too much information. I liked the quotes that introduced all the chapters and some of the nods to the reader. This book was well worth reading. Thank you to NetGalley and Columbia University Press for the advance reader copy.
