I have a sudden fascination with the Paleozoic era, particularly Permian period (I was somehow entirely unaware of "The Great Dying"!). Websites I have found through Google are either geared toward little kids or so academically detailed that I can't get the "big picture". I think I want a Cliff's Notes to the subject, complete with pictures, not images I have to click on one at a painstaking time and enlarge (the computer I'm presently using is ..... way obsolete). Someone who is familiar with paleontology suggest a Paleontology For Dummies website or book? (Would you believe that AOL underlines the word "Google" as a misspelling?)
