"Visitors to a natural history museum could not explore the number of examples contained here" - Booklist
Dive into an unprecedented survey of millions of years of life on planet Earth. Featuring an incredible mix of 3-D reconstructions, extraordinary skeletons, and amazingly intricate fossils, it uses the latest scientific research to recreate a wealth of ancient species, from the earliest primitive life forms to great dinosaurs, early mammals, and even the first humans.
Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Life is a beautifully crafted encyclopedia of prehistoric species that the whole family can enjoy. In the pages of this unique book of natural history, you'll find:
- A detailed catalogue of over 500 animals, plants, fungi and microbes with illustrations and fact files unmatched by any other book on the market
- Double-page features that take you on a close-up tour of some of the most fascinating fossils and skeletons
- Clear and crisp CGI reconstructions give a new life to some of the oldest identified species, allowing you to visualise them as they would have existed on Earth
- Richly annotated artworks displaying geological processes including how Earth formed and how fossils are preserved in rock
This richly illustrated catalogue starts with the first Precambrian microbes and traces the evolution of life through mass extinctions and ice ages. As well as dinosaurs, it features extinct plants, invertebrates, amphibians, fish, birds, reptiles, and mammals, conjuring up a series of past worlds. The book also explores geological time and examines how fossils preserve the story of evolution.
