Review: Otherlands

Otherlands: A Journey Through Earth's Extinct Worlds
by Thomas Halliday

I listened to the audiobook while jogging, so I missed out on imagining the scenes and stories he was relating. But still it was gorgeously rendered--for many different times and places, an evocative description of the creatures alive, how they lived, how they died and often--when we knew it--how they changed over time.

It was too full to describe. Overwhelming.  And I suspect that I could go back and listen again and pick up facts and pictures I missed out on the first time. Probably I will--it's certainly staying on my playlist for a redo.
