"The story of Life on our Earth from its beginning up to now" is presented as a marvelous drama. Each right-hand page is a stage setting showing changes across geological periods, with clear, explanatory text opposite the picture. Burton's research skill and artistic genius contribute to a book for many ages that can be enjoyed year after year; this is an updated edition.
