product description
Thomas Halliday, a paleontologist and evolutionary biologist, has combined his extensive knowledge with a vivid imagination to recreate environments from the Earth's deep past. In Otherlands by Thomas Halliday, each chapter takes us farther back in time. We begin in Ice Age Alaska and gradually move, chapter by chapter, back to the very beginnings of life on the planet in the Ediacaran, over 500 million years ago. Each geological period is matched with a location chosen for its extensive fossil record allowing Halliday to speculate on the ecosystems and organisms of that time. Enjoy time travel from the comfort of your reading chair with Otherlands.
