Description

Book Synopsis
From cave paintings to the latest Siberian finds, woolly mammoths have fascinated people across the world for centuries. In this volume the large mammal is reconstructed through its history in science, myth and popular culture.

Trade Review
"Some groping attempts to tell the history of paleontology through a mammoth's eyes have been made before, but only as a lick and promise, and largely by amateur enthusiasts with (perhaps) adequate knowledge of fossils, but little understanding of the subtleties or larger contexts in the history of science. But, in this truly pathbreaking book, the mammoth has finally met its match in Claudine Cohen." - from the Foreword by Stephen Jay Gould
