Title: Excellent introduction...
Review: I took this book out of the library repeatedly as a young person(12+). After getting my own copy finally, I realized why this book had such an impact on my imagination. Excellent drawings and art work, detailed pronunciations of all animals, explanations of each individuals place in the evolution of mammalian forms. Considering that this book was written over 40 years ago all the information contained therein is still relevant,including a discussion of plate tectonics; a very controversial idea at the time. All in all it is a fantastic book to introduce the future palentological enthusiast to the genre. Compared to todays introductory tomes on the subject, it is light years better and far more comprehensive than any book I've ever seen on the subject.
