About the Book: What Was the Ice Age?
Go back 20, 000 years ago to a time of much colder global temperatures when
glaciers and extensive sheets of ice covered much of our planet. As these sheets
travelled, they caused enormous changes in the Earths landscape and climate,
leading to the evolution of creatures such as giant armadillos, saber-toothed
cats and woolly mammoths as well as club-wielding Neanderthals and later the
cleverer modern humans. Nico Medina re-creates this harsh ancient world in a
vivid and easy-to-read narrative.
