Summary

Atractivo álbum de divulgación científica dirigido a niños y niñas de entre 6 y 9 años que destaca por la calidad de sus ilustraciones y la accesibilidad de la información. Un viaje al pasado remoto de la Tierra. Quizá los trilobites no sean tan espectaculares como los grandes dinosaurios. Sin embargo, estos pequeños seres prehistóricos –los cuales vivieron durante el periodo Cámbrico, es decir hace 542 millones de años–, tienen mucho que decirnos sobre el pasado remoto de la Tierra y sobre los seres vivos en general. Su fascinante anatomía, por ejemplo, guarda curiosas similitudes con otros animales y con un sinfín de objetos de uso común hoy en día. Este ameno libro toma a los trilobites como tema para hablarnos de la biología pero también de ingeniería. Los autores se refieren lo mismo a las armaduras medievales que al diseño de modas y joyería.

Journey to the earth’s distant past in this book full of high-quality illustrations and accessible information. Maybe the trilobites won’t be quite as spectacular as the enormous dinosaurs. Still, those little prehistoric creatures have lots to tell us about the earth’s past and about living things in general. Their fascinating anatomy has interesting similarities with other animals and everyday objects in use today. This book takes trilobites as an entry point into learning about biology as well as engineering.
