"The ultimate dino tour."--Library Journal, Best Reference 2019
"Perhaps the easiest way to glimpse . . . all this new knowledge is
to leaf through Norell's The World of Dinosaurs. . . . One of the
principal paleontologists of our time."--New York Review of Books
"A delight."--Open Letters Review "Possibly the best general
audience dinosaur book of 2019."--Paleoaerie Dinosaurs have held
sway over our imaginations since the discovery of their bones first
shocked the world in the nineteenth century. From the monstrous
beasts stalking Jurassic Park to the curiosities of the natural
history museum, dinosaurs are creatures that unite young and old in
awestruck wonder. Digging ever deeper into dinosaurs' ancient past,
science continues to unearth new knowledge about them and the world
they inhabited, a fantastic time when the footprints of these
behemoths marked the Earth that we humans now walk. Who better to
guide us through this ancient world than paleontologist Mark A.
Norell? A world-renowned expert in paleontology, with a knowledge
of dinosaurs as deep as the buried fossils they left behind, Norell
is in charge of what is perhaps America's most popular collection
of dinosaur bones and fossils, the beloved displays at the American
Museum of Natural History in New York. In The World of Dinosaurs,
he leads readers through a richly illustrated collection detailing
the evolution of these ancient creatures. From the horns of the
Protoceratops to the wings of the Archaeopteryx, readers are
invited to explore profiles of dinosaurs along with hundreds of
color photographs, sketches, maps, and other materials--all rooted
in the latest scientific discoveries--sure to both capture the
imagination and satisfy a prehistoric curiosity. The World of
Dinosaurs presents an astonishing collection of knowledge in an
immersive visual journey that will fascinate any fan of Earth's
ancient inhabitants.
