We are extracting the history of about four billion years from the ground under our feet! Over billions of years, life on our planet has evolved from microscopic single-celled organisms into an incredible variety of modern flora and fauna. During this time, layer after layer of life was hidden under our feet and turned into a fossilized record of the planet's history. This beautifully illustrated large format book examines all the incredible things that scientists have learned from the fossil record.: the ways in which continents drifted, merged, and separated again, the life forms that evolved, and the great events that destroyed them. Clear, concise texts are accompanied by warm and entertaining illustrations by Sophie Williams.
