Recenzii

"An excellent and accurate summary of the geologic materials of Kansas intended for readers with little or no background in earth science.... Refreshing and informative." Great Plains Quarterly "Presents a vivid history of the creatures who lived millions of years ago in Kansas and describes how both the animals and the landscape evolved in a state world famous for its fossil deposits." American West "Might just be a vacation traveler's survival guide.... For native or non-native Kansas travelers, a geologic guidebook that helps distinguish the beauty and fascination of the plains." Manhattan Mercury "Would you believe that sharks once swam in the middle of the North American continent? Or that flying reptiles with a wingspan of 20 feet existed, not only in the movies, but actually? These are just two fossils represented among the many illustrations in this interesting and informative book." - Coffeyville Journal"
