In this new dinosaur atlas, the reader is taken back to a lost world – a world where strange animals existed before dinosaurs, where the present-day continents formed one big land mass before moving apart to make way for the seas, and where the climate was perpetually mild. With the help of the latest discoveries, the reader can follow, continent-by-continent, the remarkable story of dinosaurs: how did they come to exist, how do we know what they looked like, where did they live, and what happened to them? Illustrated with vivid recreations of the prehistoric world and specially commissioned see-through overlays that feature 3-D computer generated graphics of skeletal structures, dinosaurs are brought to life in a novel and informative way.
