Atlas of a Lost World: Travels in Ice Age America by Craig Childs

adventurous hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

3.75

I could see what the author was trying to do for this book, but it didn’t quite hit the mark. Basically it’s half first person adventure travelogue, half well-researched and well-informed pop history.  Unfortunately they don’t quite cross over as well as the author was trying to do - it basically boils down to “imagine if there was a lake and mammoths here”
- cool the first time, a little repetitive after. This isn’t a bad book by any means, but it just didn’t all fit together.
