Otherlands: Journeys in Earth's Extinct Ecosystems by Thomas Halliday

hopeful informative

4.0

I wasn't sure how to rate this because it felt a bit bulky at times, but oh my GOD the social awareness sprinkled in throughout, and especially at the end. None of that "humans are eeeeeevuuuul" stuff. Turned a mostly positive, but at times bleh, read into something I will definitely remember. I think a few books I've read talk about how paleontology is useful for us to understand evolution and change, but I definitely think Otherlands is the clearest about it, big-picture-wise.
