National Geographic Prehistoric Mammals

In contrast to a previous book written by Alan Turner and illustrated by Muricio Anton, "The Big Cats and their fossil relatives," This book disappoints. The artwork by Anton is excellent, but the text is superficial and light. A very nice coffee table book for the general reader, and perhaps a very good introduction for children, age 12 and older.

Prehistoric fan

My son loves this book and has been studying it since he got it for Christmas.

Somewhat disappointing.

As far as printing quality, solid info and artistic craftsmanship go, this is a (very) good book. But it's also a somewhat boring one, lacking a more daring, dynamic approach to the various prehistoric ecosystems and the relationships between various species. Also, as a Brazilian, I must protest about the lazy approach to the information on prehistoric South American faunas, which relies wholly on the information provided by Argentinian sites studied by Darwin in the XIXth. Century, completely ignoring the recent work made by Brazilian researchers on sites such as the Itaborai formation, just in the neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro; also ignored is the Rio National Museum, with its fine fossil specimens excavated in the Lagoa Santa site during the late XIXth. Century including complete skeletons of a ground sloth and a sabertooth.

Great Book!

National Geographic has produced another beautiful book, packed with information and detailed, gorgeous illustrations. I bought this book for my 5 yr old grandson who wanted to know what animals came after the dinosaurs. There are too many and some difficult words to read it all directly to him, but I found it easy to paraphrase. He always asks how big animals are, so the comparisons of animals to the size of a man (his daddy) are just what was needed. This will be a book he can return to for many years to come. I'm so impressed with this book I may have to buy one just for me.
