Full Description
Explore the science behind the world of the dinosaurs in this fantastically funny first introduction to palaeontology!
Travel back to the Mesozoic era and discover what life was like in the time of the dinosaurs. Learn about the other living things that roamed Earth alongside the dinosaurs, from non-flowering plants and giant flying and marine reptiles to the mammals and insects. And find out about the animals that ate dinosaurs!
For budding palaeontologists aged 6 and up, this series explores all things dinosaur: from fossil finds and coprolites (that's poo) to exploring the mind-boggling stats of these mega-reptiles. But let's not forget the science, too, as we'll learn about dinosaur biology, motion, evolution, classification, among other things along the way.
Humorous illustrations and speech bubbles take this exciting topic to the next level!
Written by Dr Dave Hone, palaeontologist and senior zoology lecturer at Queen Mary University of London; a specialist in the behaviour of dinosaurs and pterosaurs who has named 18 species of extinct reptile to date.
