Dinosaurs is an entertaining educational and strikingly illustrated guide to Earth’s
prehistoric eras and animals from the New York Times bestselling author and illustrator of
Women in Science. With an exciting blend of vivid artwork and astonishing scientific facts
Dinosaurs journeys through Earth’s inhospitable origins when the only life-forms were
single-celled organisms—to the beginnings of life as we know it during the Paleozoic Era:
plants covering whole continents with forests winged insects taking to the sky and seafaring
vertebrates evolving to survive on land. Traveling forward in time you’ll explore the Mesozoic
Era when dinosaurs like the gargantuan Tyrannosaurus rex the long-necked Brontosaurus and
the lumbering Stegosaurus walked the Earth. Then you’ll venture into the Cenozoic Era’s ice age
where you’ll meet mammals like the Woolly Mammoth and early humans. Experience earth history
like you’ve never seen it before with infographics maps and illustrations that bring
dinosaurs and other fascinating extinct animals to life. With Dinosaurs Rachel Ignotofsky
makes paleontology accessible and entertaining for readers of all ages through a stunningly
illustrated journey across more than 4.5 billion years.
