For fossil and history enthusiasts, you'll love this new book from Caroline Winterer, eminent Stanford historian. A compelling story, of fossils and culture intertwined, exploring America's long and complicated relationship with the idea of deep time!

Doc icon on background made of grey random 1 and 0 on light brown color. The icon with black borders and filled in white is melting with the background gradually passing fifty percent diagonally from top to bottom, left to right, so the black line passed this point is made of square dots (representing text inside) and in the outside border. The white fill is noisy and gradually transparent.
The background is normal on the left and gradually getting darker until get black in the right border.
