A science correspondent for Smithsonian Magazine and “resident paleontologist” for the film “Jurassic World,” Riley Black presents a look at the longstanding relationship between prehistoric plants and life on Earth. Fossils plants allow us to touch the lost worlds from billions of years of evolutionary backstory. Using the same scientifically-informed narrative that readers loved in her award-winning book “The Last Days of the Dinosaurs,” Black brings readers back in time to prehistoric seas, swamps, forests, and savannas where critical moments in plant evolution unfolded.
Books available from Left Bank Books.
