Summary: A valuable text on Pleistocene megafauna
Comment: Pleistocene megafauna lived in my home state until appproximately 8,000 years ago. I am currently working on a possible trade book in the area. Holman's book has proven invaluable as a research text and resource material. It is well organized, well written, and entertaining.
While Paleozoic life in Michigan is not high on my list of interests, I believe anyone so inclined would apply my assessment to that topic as well. A must read for the paleontology buff.

Rating: 4
Summary: An extraordinary glimpse into Michigan's distant past.
Comment: This book is for anyone who has wondered at the origins of a Petosky Stone or counted the layers in a cut of sedimentary rock. Holman wraps the most interesting aspects of geology, geography, paleontology, and anthropology into a single comprehensive picture of ancient Michigan, readily understood by anyone with interest. Coral reefs, 30 million years of tree growth with no animal intervention, and giant land tortoises all share a common history in Michigan. Holman takes you back, way back, and then just like the sedimentary rocks of the Great Lakes Basin, builds layers of interesting and entertaining information as you journey forward in time. Read this book, and I guarantee that the next time you climb Castle Rock or hear the call of a loon, you will be filled with just a bit more awe.
