Abstract
Tim Flannery is the Director of the South Australian Museum and a professor at the University of Adelaide. While a visiting professor at Harvard University, he dived into the wealth of North American fossils to read their story. For his efforts, we are all richer. Flannery's book The Eternal Frontier, covering the ecological history of North America, is one you will not forget: it is extremely [End Page 296] well-written and covers an enormous temporal scale with detail, style, and intellectual rigor. Flannery's prose leads us through time on a most enjoyable journey. He sparks the imagination to conjure images of changing flora and fauna in North America, while globally, continents rip apart and collide. Nearly half the book entails the history of people entering North America in various waves over the last 13,000 years.
