A Gap in Nature: Discovering the World's Extinct Animals
$34.95
This is the most beautiful, heartbreaking book that I have ever read. There are well-researched paragraphs about the animals, explaining their history and date of extinction, and each has a truly lovely picture. Several of the animals are very unusual and obscure, and are often ignored in other books about extinct species. I can't say enough good things about the pictures, which are done with stunning detail and love, in lifelike poses.

My only nitpick is that there is almost an overabundance of birds, and very few predators.

Extinct
$6.99
Wow! This was a pretty entertaining book - similar, of course, to Steve Alten's Meg series. Despite the anatomically strange cover, the book felt very well researched. And it was certainly entertain, and exciting. Not to mention the fun of finding references to all four _Jaws_ films! How fun!

Zoo Tycoon 2 Extinct Animals Expansion Pack
$19.99
I bought this last expansion pack so my daughter would stop bugging me ;). I love zoo tycoon and wasn't really wanting the whole Jurassic Park idea but thought I would try it. Okay now I am hooked and we have all the expansion packs AND the Ultimate because a Grandma kinda got it goofed up but it's okay we have 4 computers and now both my daughter and I can play at the same time. Watch out for addiction! I remember my first real PC game addiction and it was Sim City on Windows 3.1!! This is worth it and if you need more than 2 or more expansion get the Ultimate Zoo Tycoon. The Marine Mania is a MUST HAVE.

Extinct Instinct
$16.98
Out of all the Threshold albums that have been reviewed, "Extinct Instinct" seems to have been overlooked the most. Why? I consider this album to be the "hidden gem" in the Threshold archives. Damien Wilson came back to do the vocals for this album - and he did a stellar performance. There are alot of fans who will say that "Wounded Land" was better, but I disagree.
As good as WL was, this album is ten times better. The album is a perfect combination of "Phsycedelicatessen" and there debut. On
"Wounded Land" the guitars arn't as heavy. But on this one guitarists Karl Groom and Nick Midson are responsible for cranking out some heavy riffs. Damien's vocals are soaring, and
emotional. My favorite from this disc was "Eat the Unicorn". This has to be the most progresive Threshold song ever. It's heavy, it's melodic, and gives you a dark beutiful feeling inside. They completley just ignored the rules and went for it. That is what I love about this album, it just keeps suprising you. If any Threshold fan does not have this one yet - Extinct Instinct is a must. That's saying alot, because all of their albums contain some of the best music the prog world has to offer. I'm sorry if other fans don't feel the same way about this disc, but I just wanted to give it the attention that I thought it deserved.
