From the Back Cover
AN ENTHRALLING JOURNEY THROUGH DEEP TIME, WHERE YOUNG READERS . . .
IMAGINE eating dinner at a Stone Age Farm, joining a herd of three-toed horses, climbing a mounting under the sea, sniffing air that's 5 billion years old, befriending a lovely lugworm.
EXPLORE messages from the past on local beaches, mountains, woodlands, and swamps.
PRESERVE seastars, snakeskins, dragonflies, and pawprints.
INTERPRET natural codes in songs birds sing, and games puppies play.
MAKE a plankton net, a view box, a plant press, stone tools, natural dyes, seaweed pudding, leather.
Hundreds of photographs and drawings throughout

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
