Using groundbreaking recent research, palaeontologist Chris Barker recreates the world of prehistoric giants with photorealistic images more life-like than any you've seen before. The book explores every era of prehistoric life, beginning with the origins of life in the world's oceans, moving to the first land-based vertebrates, and on to the reign of the dinosaurs and beyond. Based on only the most modern and authentic science, some familiar dinosaurs take on a whole new appearance. See these majestic creatures in their natural habitat, understand their parallels with modern animals, and learn everything about how they moved, ate, fought and hunted.
