Hard cover Fine in very good dust jacket. fine in a near fine jacket, just a whisper of shelfwear, near fine, No ownership marks First Printing Sewn binding. Cloth over boards.

In perceptive creation stories, they visualized the remains of extinct mammoths, dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and marine creatures as Monster Bears, Giant Lizards, Thunder Birds, and Water Monsters. Their insights, some so sophisticated that they anticipate modern scientific theories ...
