Only For Beginners!,
By BARKIN ELDEM (TURKEY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fossils: A Guide to Prehistoric Life (A Golden nature guide) (Paperback)
This little guide is the best choice for beginners and children. Book gives the reader an idea about what a fossil is, where and how they can be found, and some information about major fossils. All the pictures are hand drawn illustrations, so that they are not very detailed but still OK for kids and beginers. (I liked it when I was young!)

Fossil Hunting- Hide and Seek for the New Millenium,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fossils: A Guide to Prehistoric Life (A Golden nature guide) (Paperback)
I can remember pouring over the pictures in this book,using my book light,long after the final lights out call from my parents. I traveled back in time, imagining dinosaur growls and prehistoric seashells. By day, I would wander the acreage on my Grandma's farm, scouring the weedy earth for the slightest hint of ancient rock or dinosaur footprint. I wanted my school-age children to enjoy the imaginative art of archeology and paleantology and immediately remembered my favorite book, Fossils: A Guide to Prehistoric Life. I was delighted to see that it was still in print with the same exciting drawings. I immediatley ordered my copy! I then decided to order a copy for my kids! This is a great book that will encourage your children to look beyond the video games and satellite channels and into the fascinating world of the ancient past.

Nice guide,

This review is from: Fossils: A Guide to Prehistoric Life (A Golden nature guide) (Paperback)
Small and compact, this pocket-sized book provides a good introduction to prehistoric life, how organisms fossilize, and how man then discovers, extracts and analyzes these fossils. The book is written both as an educational guide and a field guide; something that can be used in the classroom or out in the field when actually looking at or for fossils. The text is simple enough for highschoolers to understand, but contains a lot of information. Good addition to the libraries of those who like fossils, or just glossing over nice color illustrations of ancient organisms such as dinosaurs.
