Journey back in time 13,000 years and imagine the landscape and animals that the first North Americans encountered upon arrival. From the icy arctic waters to the steamy swamps of the Everglades, this book examines the continent region-by-region and introduces extinct creatures. Ground sloths rear their heads as high as a giraffe to graze on trees. The 5-foot-tall, almost 1ton glyptodont looks like a rat covered in armor. Computer-generated images bring these animals to life alongside those that have survived, including cheetahs, salmon, and caribou. This is the companion book to a Discovery Channel television show. Yale U Pr, 2002, 192 p., color photos/illus., hardcover, $29.95.
