DRAGONS IN AMBER
By
An enchanting pursuit of some remote, bizarre phases of natural history by the author of the delightful and informative The Lungfish, the Doda and the Unicorn. Marvels all over the world --the amber of Samland, fossilized remains in red sandstone, the rare deer of China, the giant panda, the gingko tree, our giant redwoods, ""imported"" plants and insects, ichthyosaurs, mammoths, eels, camels etc. Fascinating for the young naturalist, and aspiring traveller.
