Dinosaurs: How They Lived and Evolved 2016

From the UK's leading dinosaur research centre, comes a state-of-the-art overview of dinosaurs. As research on these fantastic animals is proceeding at a faster pace than ever before, Dinosaurs brings the reader right up to date with the latest developments from around the world, shedding light on the different dinosaur groups, their evolution, diversity and lifestyle.
Starting 225 million years ago, the book begins by tracing the evolution of the dinosaur through to the end of the Cretaceous Period. It then describes the major dinosaur groups, before exploring dinosaur anatomy, biology, ecology and behaviour, and the evidence supporting the evolution of dinosaurs to birds. In the final chapter our experts review what happened to the dinosaurs during the great extinction event.
Special emphasis is given to the most recent global discoveries and the major role that new technologies play in revealing previously inaccessible and unknown details about how dinosaurs lived. Readers will discover, for example, how with the use of CT-scanning, we can now look inside a dinosaur skull, gaining new information on brains and sense organs.
The authors' clear and uncomplicated text expertly guides the reader through all the information, while artworks and special photography brings these iconic creatures to life.
