NOTES

Read by Shaun Grindell

An enrapturing tale of the age of the dinosaurs, tracing their earliest origins, their astounding two-hundred-million-year reign and their infamous demise. Dinosaurs. No other class of animals captures the hearts of both children and adults alike. Paleontologist Armin Schmitt brings us a firsthand account of the latest research on dinosaurs and their lives millions of years ago, including his spectacular global excavations and fascinating discoveries in the field. With the help of cutting-edge technology and unbelievable new finds, the age-old tale of the dinosaurs is now revitalized for the very first time, complete with astonishing illustrations by Ben Rennen that help us imagine dinosaurs like never before. Though we're all familiar with popular dinosaurs such as the renowned Tyrannosaurus rex, every dino fan's favorite, Schmitt answers the questions we've all been asking, such as: What is excavating at a dig site like? Why did birds survive the asteroid impact at the end of the Cretaceous, unlike the rest of the dinosaurs? How has the field of paleontology changed since the Bone Wars? Does climate change and its effects on the dinosaurs' survival compare to our current climate crisis today? "The Lost World of the Dinosaurs" is an all-encompassing exploration traveling back in time into the world of the primeval giants, perfect for anyone interested in the largest land creatures that ever inhabited Earth
