The Princeton Field Guide to the Ice Age (PRE-ORDER - DUE 13th April 2027)

The Pleistocene Epoch, known as the Ice Age, saw the rise of many iconic and charismatic species, from Saber-toothed Cats to Woolly Mammoths. It also witnessed one of the most dramatic extinctions in Earth’s history, as climate change and a new, bipedal primate species—humans—changed the structure of Earth’s ecosystems forever. The Princeton Field Guide to the Ice Age is a captivating and authoritative introduction and reference to the species that thrived during this era. From big-name megafauna to smaller mammals, birds, plants, and more, the book examines how enormous ice sheets and lowered sea levels shaped a world where giants dominated every continent except Antarctica. Using the latest paleontological discoveries and cutting-edge research, the book provides up-to-date descriptions and scientifically accurate illustrations of every species, bringing the Ice Age to life.
