Inhaltsangabe

Anthony Fiorillo has been exploring the Arctic since 1998. For him, like many others, the Arctic holds the romance of uncharted territory, extreme conditions, and the inevitable epic challenges that arise. For Fiorillo, however, the Arctic also holds the secrets of the history of life on Earth, and its fossils bring him back field season after field season in pursuit of improving human understanding of ancient history. His studies of the rocks and fossils of the Arctic shed light on a world that once was, and provide insight into what might be.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book is a survey of the dinosaurs found in the rocks of the Arctic landscape. But it is about more than dinosaurs. It is also a geological overview of Alaska; a report on the discovered fossils; descriptions of long dead animal footprints; and a review of the fossil plants and the paleoclimate and paleoecology of the Arctic.
