Description
Dinosaurs: How They Lived and Evolved Discover the fascinating story of the dinosaurs, from the Victorian era to the present day. Despite facing extreme environmental challenges, including violent volcanic activity and drastic climate changes, the dinosaurs formed a long-lasting dynasty that ruled the Earth for over 150 million years. This book reveals the latest scientific findings about dinosaur anatomy, behaviour, and evolution, and explores how they survived the great extinction event at the end of the Cretaceous Period. The authors, Darren Naish and Paul Barrett, demonstrate how dinosaurs continued to evolve and thrive alongside us, with many species still existing today in the form of birds that are direct descendants of theropods. The book is lavishly illustrated with specimens from the Natural History Museum's collections, along with explanatory diagrams, charts, and full-colour artistic reconstructions of dinosaur behaviour. With its unique blend of scientific research and engaging storytelling, Dinosaurs: How They Lived and Evolved is a must-have for anyone interested in the natural world and the history of life on Earth.
