Great mix of graphics and text
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
One of the critics of TV is that it distracts people from reading. This might be true in some cases, but for the genre of prehistoric life (outside of dinosaurs), the CGI documentaries on cable and satellite TV have driven the sale of related books. This big, coffe-table book is one such example. Not quite as lavish as the books by Tim Haines, or the Walking with Dinosaurs series, this is still an impressive work by National Geographic, and features 3-D 2-page spreads with a pair of 3-D glasses. There is an accompanying movie of course, but the book is quite good by itself. It provides a mix of fossil-hunting documentary, to color illustrations of ancient sea monsters, along with descriptions of possible lifestyles and such. All told, a great book.
Stay out of the water!

I bought this book for my young son and he loves it. So do I! The artwork is fantastic, very realistic. It's also well written and packed with interesting information about prehistoric sea creatures. This book is a winner for all ages. I highly recommend it. --Guy P.

An excellent pick for any collection appealing to lay readers of prehistoric life or aquatic history
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This companion to the screen film SEA MONSTERS stands alone well as an excellent addition to any general-interest lending library strong in sea exploration and ecology. Some 100 images taken from the film - many in 3-D - bring these sea monsters to life, while accompanying dialogue from pioneering paleontologists trace the vanished worlds and creatures of the past and brings prehistory to life. An excellent pick for any collection appealing to lay readers of prehistoric life or aquatic history. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch
Dive right into "hell's aquarium"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The Cretaceous oceans have been dubbed "hell's aquarium," and Michael Everhart does a terrific job of capturing just how terrifyingly awesome these prehistoric waters must have been. Everhart's writing is crisp and never boring, and the 3-D photos are incredible. This is a book that my kids and I both thoroughly enjoyed. Dinosaurs are a lot more famous than their seagoing contemporaries. But thanks to Everhart, these ocean predators are finally getting some well-deserved attention.
