Ever since the first monstrous bones were pulled from the earth, we've constructed myths and legends and stories to explain them. These creatures were first dubbed "terrible lizards," but in recent years, science has made remarkable strides, analyzing dinosaurs to gain a better understanding of how they functioned.

For that, we need our imaginations.The Amazing World of Dinosaurs is a guided tour of the Age of Reptiles. James Kuether's breathtaking, incredibly lifelike paleoart conveys the power and majesty of these animals, while his fascinating text guides us through the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods with the latest information in dinosaur science.
