Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Life (DK)

Authoritative text, photo-realistic artwork and a systematic approach make the Dorling Kindersley Handbook of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Life the definitive pocket guide to these early creatures. Packed with more than 700 full-colour illustrations, it paints a vivid portrait of these extraordinary animals and the world they inhabited millions of years ago.

Encyclopedic approach - A detailed introductory section explains classification systems, geological timelines, the evolution of the dinosaurs, and how fossils form and are discovered. For ease of reference the main body of the book is divided into three sections: the Precambrian and Palaeozoic eras, the Mesozoic era and the Cenozoic eras. Each section is broken down into its geological time periods and within these, the species are organised according to habitat – whether they lived on land, in the water, or in the air.

• Profiles over 200 dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals
• Crystal-clear artworks, including stunningly realistic digital images, show how the animal may have appeared in the flesh
• Concise jargon-free text pinpoints the key characteristics of each species combined with skeletons, replica models and a map showing where fossils have been found
