My Review: The Encyclopedia consists of the history of the earth and the geological time scale, the rise of the Dinosaurs, how do scientists study Dinosaurs? the Dinosaur family tree, Drifting continents, warm blooded Dinosaurs and many more.
Children will have fun finding out how the earth is much older than the dinosaurs and how the scientists use a standard time scale to describe the history of the earth which they divided into a series of eons, and again into smaller eras and finally turned into smaller periods and how they were able to study rocks using a technique called radiometric dating.
