Praise for THE LAST LOST WORLD "Daughter-and-father historians of science pretty fully justify their profession in this brilliant explanation of the most recent geological epoch [.] For science mavens of a philosophical bent, this may be the book of the year, a font of knowledge and, what's more and better, intellectual exercise." -- Booklist "Written in clear, supple prose, this title will interest historians, anthropologists, and anyone fascinated by the Ice Ages, human evolution, and the history of science and culture." -- Library Journal "Lasting from about 3 million to 10,000 years ago, the Pleistocene is both a geological epoch and an idea, write science historians Stephen Pyne ( Voyager: Exploration, Space, and the Third Great Age of Discovery , 2011, etc.) and his daughter Lydia, who proceed to deliver a perceptive account of both." -- Kirkus Reviews "[Pyne] and his daughter dig right into the subject of the tumultuous, fascinating Pleistocene and do [.] a lively, bang-up job of it." -- Open Letters Monthly.
