Research Notes |
| “I’ve written several books about dinosaurs and fossils. So when an editor asked me to take a close look the fossilization process, I was really excited. I learned all kinds of interesting things while researching the book. For instance, scientists have found everything for spiders and flower petals to bird feathers and gas bubbles made by termites encased in amber.” |
| Reviews |
| “Information is clearly presented using a large font, diagrams, and photographs formatted to resemble Polaroid pictures. . . . This series does a first-rate job answering some important scientific questions.” |
