Description
"The ultimate guide to Washington fossils." (KING 5 - Evening) "Despite a richness of detail, Spirit Whales and Sloth Tales never reads like a textbook . . . The scientific scope makes it a notable contribution, and the clarity of presentation and lyrical writing combined with excellent illustrations are outstanding assets." (Pacific Northwest Quarterly (PNQ)) "An accessible text that succeeds in its ambition to inform and inspire curiosity about Washington's extinct life." (H-Environment)
