Description
Journey through Earth’s deep history in a vivid exploration of lost worlds and the extraordinary creatures that inhabited them. From giant, forest-dwelling penguins of the Eocene to armor-clad life in Pangaea and ecosystems surrounding deep-sea vents, the book reconstructs vanished landscapes with scientific insight and imaginative detail. Along the way, it examines how dramatic shifts in climate, geography, and geology have shaped evolution, adaptation, and extinction. Lyrical yet rigorously informed, this portrait of our planet invites readers to see Earth not as a fixed home, but as a constantly transforming world of “otherlands.”
