Summary: Very interesting
Comment: This book was soooo interesting and informative that I bought copies for members of my family. I love how Macaulay uses early man working the mammoths to illustrate....

Summary: Printing too dark in some places
Comment: I ordered 3 of these for gifts. This is something I think every child should have (and I like it too). I was disappointed when I received them though. In some places the printing was so dark you couldn't read the text, or make out the well done art. I just wasn't willing to pay full price for what I felt was not a top quality production. Returning to Amazon was easy. I also tried contacting the publisher to see if they had better copies, but I never received a reply from them.

Summary: Mammoth Lovers Unite!!!
Comment: I originally got this book back in 1988 when I was a young lad. That copy has served me well throughout high school, an college engineering curriculum, and my current employment. Just recently, my 10 year old "found" my copy and has been glued to it for weeks... and he'll be getting a copy for the holidays.
I love the wit of the author as he pushes the Woolly Mammoths through science and physics concepts. While I'm sure many factors contributed to the extinction of the mammoth, Macaulay helps provide an "alternate" analysis to the disappearance - curiosity.
A must-have for future engineers, physicists, and scientists...

Summary: This is too cool
Comment: You CAN let your kids read it TOO! I'm an engineer and this book is full of stuff I now use at work - really. My eight year old doesn't have the attention span to get through a section, YET.
