Beschreibung

'The need for a readable and up-to-date survey of the current state of palaeontological knowledge is pressing. Thankfully, with The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs, Steve Brusatte has triumphantly risen to the challenge . . . Nothing . . . is more thrillingly brought to life than the dinosaurs themselves.' Tom Holland, Sunday Times
'A Jurassic blockbuster . . . A gripping read in the best traditions of popular science.' Observer
'The epic tale of the dinosaurs' rise to dominance and extinction . . . a thrilling journey back in time.' National Geographic
Sixty-six million years ago the dinosaurs were wiped from the face of the earth. Today, a new generation of dinosaur hunters are piecing together the complete history of how the dinosaurs created a hugely successful empire that lasted for around 150 million years.

Steve Brusatte, one of the world's leading palaeontologists, uses fossil clues that have been gathered using state-of-the-art technology to follow these magnificent creatures from the start of their evolution, to their final days, and the legacy that they left behind. Along the way, Brusatte offers thrilling accounts of some of the remarkable discoveries he has made, including primitive, human-sized tyrannosaurs and monstrous carnivores even larger than a T. rex.

The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs is a timely reminder of what humans can learn from the magnificent creatures who ruled the earth before us.
