Growing outwards from the backs of their heads were large, patterned frills used to scare their enemies and attract mates during courtship displays. Each title in the series, Dinosaurs! takes a close look at one particular type of dinosaur and reveals the facts about these incredible creatures.

The human species is relatively new to the planet in geologic terms. With origins reaching back only a few million years, the rise of humans from primate ancestors is a remarkable evolutionary success story. ""Early Humans"" traces the beginnings of the human species, its success and adaptability, and the development of such innovations as human language and culture. In exploring human origins, provocative questions arise concerning the human species: how are we different from each other, is there a biological basis for race, and what does the future hold for human evolution?

Vertebrates are the most familiar of all animals on Earth, with humans being but one of about 45,000 species of living vertebrates. The rise of the first vertebrates is synonymous with the Paleozoic Era, a span of increasing ecological complexity where the first explosion of life occurred in the seas. In this fully illustrated volume, ""The First Vertebrates"" examines the dramatic rise of vertebrate life in the Paleozoic seas with the development of early fish, including jawless fish, fish with teeth and jaws, early sharks and other cartilaginous fish, and bony fish, the ancestors of present-day fish species.

Dinosaurs dance out of the book that a boy is reading and head for mischief.

This unique book opens a window on to the lives of dinosaurs from different periods of the lost world, namely the early dinosaurs, land dinosaurs, wetland dinosaurs, creatures of the deep, and prehistoric flying creatures. The book introduces the creatures of each period or setting in the flat spreads, and then and then tells their stories in the five multi-layered spreads, which are made up of either two or three flaps. The scenes work in tandem with sound effects--activated upon lifting the final layer--to bring the scenes to brilliant life. The book features prehistoric creatures such as the hunters, planteaters, marine and flying reptiles, and insects.
