Overview

Whatever our age, dinosaurs stir in us a sense of wonder as huge as the prehistoric beasts themselves. They live in our imaginations and in our encyclopedias, through species that are instantly recognizable yet known only through their bones. Dinosaurus takes a fresh, new approach to our dinosaur obsession, by cataloguing an A to Z of 60 of the most famous and fascinating dinosaurs, alongside a lexicon of prehistoric beasts, a chronology of geological time, a tour of prehistoric geography and a directory of scientific terms. Beautifully illustrated with dinosaur anatomies, prehistoric beasts and ancient artefects, it includes pronunciation guides to help the reader sound like a paleontological professional. An etymological time capsule transporting us over 230 million years into the past, Dinosaurus is the perfect gift for every dinophile.
