Herman J. V. van den Bijtel Książki

From its beginnings as molten space debris over 4.6 billion years ago, Earth has undergone remarkable transformations to achieve its current form. The Discovery Channel's Atlas of the Prehistoric World offers a dynamic portrait of the planet and the forces that shaped it and its life. The work is divided into three major sections, each providing a unique perspective on Earth's pre-history. In "The Changing Globe," computer-generated global maps illustrate the Earth's topographical shifts across eighteen geological periods, showcasing the rise of mountain ranges and the formation of new oceans. "Life on Earth" explores the evolution of plant and animal life, from single-celled microbes to land-dwelling mammals, with each geological era profiled in its own chapter. This section depicts the life forms that emerged as continents drifted and volcanic activity occurred, enhanced by specially commissioned panoramic illustrations that visualize creatures from each period based on the latest scientific insights. Finally, the "Earth Fact File" serves as an essential gazetteer, elucidating key Earth science concepts and providing a valuable tool for understanding prehistory. Accompanied by over 250 full-color photographs and illustrations, along with 68 maps, this resource is a must-have for any family member interested in the planet's rich history.

This guide covers over 600 species from predatory dinosaurs to primitive amphibians, from giant armoured fish to mammoths and sabertooths. Accompanying each illustration are biographies of the creatures, detailing how these animals moved, behaved, and what they ate. Where possible, significant comparisons are made with familiar living animals to highlight the process. The book also contains spreads on how fossils are made, how they are discovered, and the process of evolution.
