Discovering the Prehistoric World: A Guide to the Astonishing Forms of Early Life on Earth by Marianne Taylor (Hardcover)

Discovering the Prehistoric World follows life on Earth across roughly 3.8 billion years, from its first beginnings to the age of dinosaurs and the ice ages. Marianne Taylor shows how species appeared, thrived, changed and vanished as climates and habitats shifted. Part of Arcturus's Discovering series, it is written for families and anyone drawn to deep time.

• Paleozoic: early sea life, the first plants, coral reefs and trilobites.
• Mesozoic: dinosaurs and other reptiles, the first birds and the break-up of Pangaea.
• Cenozoic: new mammals, the first horses and the ice ages.
• Extinctions: the five mass extinction events and how life recovered after each one.
• Fossil ancestors of many living animals, shown in colour photographs, charts, maps and infographics.
