Living Fossils: Evolution the Grand Experiment Vol. 2 by Dr. Carl Werner Munchkin has enjoyed learning about dinosaurs and fossils from a very young age, so I’m always thrilled when we’re able to review dinosaur and/or fossil books.  Munchkin really liked the first book in this series, Evolution: The Grand Experiment, so I had high hopes for the second volume.  I was not disappointed.

It’s this unique combination that gives this book a different viewpoint than many books on the market. Dr. Carlson…
