Imagine giant trees over 100 feet tall covering the land. And monstrous salamanders, dragonflies as big as crows, and millipedes over 6 feet long.

Journey into the distant past with this book and witness the earliest events in what would become North America; when life on land multiplied, grew to giant proportions, and then suddenly disappeared in the largest extinction our world has ever known.

Imagine vast, flowing, 10,000-foot-thick ice sheets covering much of the land. See huge, elephant-like wooly mammoths roaming the tundra. Picture hunting monstrously large mammals alongside the first humans to travel to a new land. This is not an imaginary world. This is our continent, North America, less than 100,000 years ago! Journey into the distant past with this book and witness the earliest events in North America; when much of the continent was still covered in ice, the last of the giant beasts roamed the land, and human beings expanded into new territories to bring the dawn of their (and our) new world.

Imagine a world with volcanoes erupting as a single supercontinent slowly breaks apart. Fierce creatures over 16 feet tall and 40 feet long with huge, sharp teeth.

Journey into the distant past with this book and witness the earliest events in what would become North America; when life flourished and the dinosaurs ruled the land, only to be wiped out when a meteorite from outer space exploded on Earth.

Imagine the blooming of the very first flower. Or a 3-ton sloth with massive claws standing as tall as a giraffe. And horses the size of small dogs that have toes instead of hooves. This is not a dream or vision of an artist or author. This is North America over 20 million years ago! Journey into the distant past with this book and witness the earliest events in North America; when mammals rose from the shadows of the extinct dinosaurs to fill the land, and the first flowers and grasslands bloomed.
