The story of life on Earth through the planet's major mass extinctions。 Book four， Lisowicia ， focuses on a massive nine tonne， elephant-sized animal。 TV scientist Professor Ben Garrod makes top level science accessible to everyone， whether you're 8 or 80！ He presents a unique exploration of the most iconic animals ever to walk， swim， waddle or stalk our planet in this collectable， full-colour eight-book series， illustrated by paleo-artist Gabriel Ugueto。 201 million years ago， and unlike previous events， the End Triassic mass extinction left lots of clues as to what caused it。 Among the victims was Lisowicia， a massive nine tonne， elephant-sized animal which， in many ways， was a cross between a reptile and a mammal， but not quite either！ With an additional 'Ask the Expert' section， stunning full-colour art on every page， glossary and pronunciation guide， each book will reveal a different extinction story， from mass extinctions caused by asteroids or mega volcanoes， to over-hunting by humans and habitat destruction。
