A Year In The World Of Dinosaurs

Presents a calendar year in the life of various dinosaur species during the Jurassic period, showing the hatching of dinosaur eggs, attacks by predators, a forest fire, floods during the rain season, mating, and a move to new feeding grounds.

In The World of Dinosaurs, paleontologist Dr Mark Norell takes a detailed look at everything we know about these wondrous creatures, drawing on the very latest research in the field. Produced in association with the American Museum of Natural History and drawing on their archives, Norell examines every facet of the dinosaur mystery, from the scattering of dinosaur fossils after the breakup of Pangea to the different categorisations of these monstrous reptiles. Even subjects you may think you know about - such as the species' extinction - are looked at in a new light. Illustrated with exceptional scientific recreations of key species, as well as documentary photographs, sketches and notes from dino discoveries, this is the ultimate photographic reference book on dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs have filled us with wonder since the first monstrous bones were pulled from the earth thousands of years ago. For centuries, we imagined dinosaurs as giant, clumsy brutes--but science has since revealed them to be so much more. They were living, breathing animals that had moments of great power and ferocity, but also periods of quiet beauty. Of course, science cannot tell us how they behaved or how they interacted with their environments. For that, we need our imaginations. The Amazing World of Dinosaurs is an intersection where imagination and knowledge meet. It features James Kuether's breathtaking dinosaur paleoart that accurately reflects our current knowledge. These captivating images are paired with Kuether's research and insights, which make dinosaurs and the Mesozoic Era accessible to anyone. From famous creatures like Tyrannosaurus rex to lesser-known species such as Monolophosaurus, dinosaurs continue to spark the imaginations of children and adults everywhere. Let The Amazing World of Dinosaurs guide you through this incredible time in history.
