Walking with Dinosaurs

More than 225 million years ago, in the middle of the Triassic period, dinosaurs began to roam the Earth. But 170 million years later they had disappeared. How and why this happened continue to be among the world’s greatest mysteries.The dinosaur era was one of the most amazing periods in the Earth’s history. It saw, for example, the emergence of the first floweri­­­­­ng plants and birds and the creation of the continents. But perhaps its most exciting characteristic was the dominance of the Earth by those most spectacular of creatures…the dinosaurs.Walking with Dinosaurs re-creates the age of these super-beasts, vividly depicting the landscape in which they lived and the brutal lifestyle they endured. From the smallest dinosaurs (such as Coelophysis, an early carnivore) to the giants (including the fearsome carnivore Tyrannosaurus and the gentle herbivore Diplodocus), the lives of these awe-inspiring creatures are dramatically brought to life in words and pictures.What did they eat? How did they mate? How did they survive attack? Complete with up-to-the-minute scientific debate on such controversial issues as whether dinosaurs were hot- or cold-blooded and whether they hunted alone or in packs, and illustrated with stunning visual images in which classic natural-history photography is combined with state-of-the-art computer graphics, Walking with Dinosaurs is the ultimate natural-history experience for the whole family to enjoy.
