Very interesting December 12, 2008
This book was soooo interesting and informative that I bought copies for members of my family. I love how Macaulay uses early man working the mammoths to illustrate....
 Printing too dark in some places November 30, 2008

I ordered 3 of these for gifts. This is something I think every child should have (and I like it too). I was disappointed when I received them though. In some places the printing was so dark you couldn't read the text, or make out the well done art. I just wasn't willing to pay full price for what I felt was not a top quality production. Returning to Amazon was easy. I also tried contacting the publisher to see if they had better copies, but I never received a reply from them.
Mammoth Lovers Unite!!! November 22, 2008

I originally got this book back in 1988 when I was a young lad. That copy has served me well throughout high school, an college engineering curriculum, and my current employment. Just recently, my 10 year old "found" my copy and has been glued to it for weeks... and he'll be getting a copy for the holidays.
I love the wit of the author as he pushes the Woolly Mammoths through science and physics concepts. While I'm sure many factors contributed to the extinction of the mammoth, Macaulay helps provide an "alternate" analysis to the disappearance - curiosity.
A must-have for future engineers, physicists, and scientists...
This is too cool September 10, 2008
You CAN let your kids read it TOO! I'm an engineer and this book is full of stuff I now use at work - really. My eight year old doesn't have the attention span to get through a section, YET.
Husband loves it May 23, 2008
My husband loves to learn about how things work. The title of the book told me this was just the book for him.
