Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Large Ice Age Mammals of North America opens with an overview of the geologic events that led to the Pleistocene epoch and explores possible causes for the ice ages. Generously illustrated descriptions of the animals — what they looked like, how and where they lived, how they may have interacted with early humans — form the heart of the book. A final chapter examines the question of why so many of these animals became extinct by the end to the Pleistocene time. Sidebars explore topics such as why some Ice Age animals were so large and how natural processes preserved and mummified specimens. A list of museums and fossil sites tells readers where they can view remains of these fascinating creatures. Includes 25 color illustrations, 68 black-and-white diagrams and illustrations, 15 black-and-white photographs, glossary, bibliography, and index. Book News Annotation:This engaging introduction to ice age mammals for general readers and
students with little scientific background describes the geologic
events that led to the ice ages and looks at the possible causes for
the mass extinctions of so many species. Side bars explore
interesting topics like the enormous size of some Ice Age animals and
the role of DNA analysis in the study of these beasts. B&w photos of
bones and digs, and color illustrations of animals, are included, as
well as a list of selected museum and fossil sites. Lange is a
retired professor and economic geologist.
