Earth and Life: From a Molten World to the Age of Primates is a cause-and-effect journey through 4.5 billion years of Earth’s history—told in plain, clear language, but built on real science. This is not a timeline of facts. It is a logical reconstruction of how a dead, molten planet became a stable world with oceans, continents, ecosystems, dinosaurs, mammals, and eventually primates. You begin at the true starting line: a universe that initially had almost no heavy elements, the birth and death of ancient stars, and the formation of the solar system. From there, the book follows ...

Benton gathers together all the latest paleontological evidence, tracing the transformation of dinosaur study from its roots in antiquated natural history to an indisputably scientific field.

To be seen is to die. To be a myth is to rule. Karn didn't just hatch into the sweltering heat of the Colombian jungle; he spawned into a warzone. Starting at Level 1 and the size of a turkey, he is desperately low on Biomass and surrounded by a heavily armed Cartel operation. To the humans with their tracking dogs, thermal scopes, and thunder-sticks, he is just another piece of local wildlife to be exterminated. They are dead wrong.

The fascinating group of animals called dinosaurs became extinct some 65 million years ago (except for their feathered descendants). In their place evolved an enormous variety of land creatures, especially mammals, which in their way were every bit as remarkable as their Mesozoic cousins. The Age of Mammals, the Cenozoic Era, has never had its Jurassic Park, but it was an amazing time in earth's history, populated by a wonderful assortment of bizarre animals. The rapid evolution of thousands of species of mammals brought forth many incredible creatures—including our own ancestors.
