How do we know huge dinosaurs existed hundreds of millions of years ago? After all, no humans were around to see them. And how are scientists able to figure out what the Earth looked like during different periods of its vast history? The answers to these questions, and many more, can be found in a trail of natural clues called fossils that the Earth and its creatures left behind, usually buried in rocks or beneath the ground. WHAT FOSSILS TELL THE HISTORY OF LIFE examines the ever-unfolding stories these fossils reveal about life on Earth. Dig in and learn how fossils were formed, and find out about some of the most important people and places in the field of paleontology.

More than two million different species of organisms live on Earth--in all kinds of climates and places, ranging from the freezing North Pole to hot and steamy jungles, and from the highest mountains to the nethermost depths of the oceans.

THE KINGDOMS OF CLASSIFICATION explores the amazing diversity of life on Earth and details one way scientists currently organize their records to make sure no organism is left unnamed and unclassified.
