This book colorfully explores the fascinating fauna that flourished in Alaska long before the first people set foot in the state.
The volume includes many photos, illustrations, maps and paintings to tell an informative story of the beginning of plant and animal life in the North form the ages of dinosaurs and woolly mammoths and up to the arrival of the first humans via the Bering Land Bridge.
Review
Alaska's own version of Jurassic Park, this issue gives readers an up-to-date account of Alaska's land formation, plus the dinosaurs, prehistoric mammals and people who survived here before recorded history. Includes original artwork depicting Alaska's dinosaurs and prehistoric mammals. With index. 112 pages. -- Publisher
Too bad (James) Michener didn't have this edition of Alaska Geographic to use in his research (for his Alaska book)... Exciting paleontological and archaeological finds have occurred in recent years here in Alaska... Nine dinosaurs are listed for Late Cretaceous Alaska, but none of the Famous Jurassic Park players are on the register. Several Alaska places are listed for viewing pieces of our prehistory. -- Peninsula Clarion, Kenai, Alaska
