Beasts of Eden: Walking Whales, Dawn Horses, and Other Enigmas of Mammal Evolution
"[Zallinger's] mural serves perfectly as the organizing motif for David Rains Wallace's fascinating new book, Beasts of Eden: Walking Whales, Dawn Horses, and Other Enigmas of Mammal Evolution, which tells the story of mammal evolution and discovery. . . . Wallace traces the study of mammals from the earliest finds to the latest research, making his story come to life with details of discoveries as recent as 2003. . . . Well-written and engaging."--David B. Williams, "Seattle Times"
