The Amazing World of Dinosaurs - An Illustrated Journey Through the Mesozoic Era (Paperback)

Become a dinosaur expert with this beautiful coffee-table book that features breathtaking paleoart paired with the author's research and expert insights. Dinosaurs have filled us with wonder, amazement, and excitement for thousands of years. Ever since the first monstrous bones were pulled from the earth, we've constructed myths and legends and stories to explain them. These creatures were first dubbed "terrible lizards," but in recent years, science has made remarkable strides, analyzing dinosaurs to gain a better understanding of how they functioned. No amount of research can tell us how dinosaurs behaved or how they interacted with their environments or with the other animals in their ecosystems. For that, we need our imaginations. The Amazing World of Dinosaurs is a guided tour of the Age of Reptiles. James Kuether's breathtaking, incredibly lifelike paleoart conveys the power and majesty of these animals, while his fascinating text guides us through the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods with the latest information in dinosaur science. Get to know familiar favorites, such as Tyrannosaurus and Stegosaurus, as well as wild new finds like Dracoraptor, Cryolophosaurus, and Medusaceratops. Book Features: Gorgeous paleoart-digital reconstructions of extinct animals Chronological information, from early life to the K-Pg Extinction Introductions to more than 150 species of dinosaurs and non-dinosaurs For over 150 years, dinosaurs and the other prehistoric creatures have sparked the imaginations of children and adults everywhere. The Amazing World of Dinosaurs is the book that dinosaur lovers of all ages-from armchair paleontologists to experts-will want on their coffee table or bookshelf.
