Smart, passionate and seditious
A pioneering study … If you thought it all began with the extinction of the non-bird dinosaurs … think again.
Under Ms. Panciroli’s adroit tutelage, the Carboniferous and Permian (pre-dinosaur) periods are brought to life … she regularly enlivens this surprisingly readable book with quick and often humorous observations.
Fascinating ... filled with as many weird and wonderful creatures as any reptilian tale ... there's much here to intrigue.
Provides a fascinating and uplifting look at the resilience of life on this planet, through the lens of how mammals came to be.
Dr Elsa Panciroli is a palaeontologist who studies the evolution and ecology of extinct animals. She is a researcher based at the University of Oxford and associate researcher at the National Museums of Scotland. Elsa is a keen science speaker and communicator. She has contributed to the Guardian and Biological Sciences Review, as well as to radio and podcast programmes such as Crowdscience, The John Beatty Show and Our Lives.
