Masser af nye og fantastiske dinosaurfund og brugen af moderne teknologi har de seneste år skabt et helt nyt billede af dinosaurerne og deres historie. I sin fængslende bestseller Dinosaurernes gennembrud og undergang - en ny historie om de forhistoriske kæmper fortæller den amerikanske palæontolog Steve Brusatte engageret om de mange banebrydende opdagelser og gør den forsvundne verden levende ved at kaste nyt lys over dinosaurernes gådefulde oprindelse, deres fantastiske opblomstring, forbløffende mangfoldighed og katastrofale udryddelse.Brusatte, der har navngivet 15 nye arter, bl.a. tyrannosauren 'Pinocchio rex', og stået i spidsen for masser af spændende feltarbejde, tager læserne med på en verdensomspændende rundtur til de nye fossilfund og opdagelser. Han tegner både det store evolutionære billede fra dinosaurernes opståen til deres udryddelse og har masser af detaljer om, hvordan mange af arterne så ud, og hvordan de levede, spiste og bevægede sig. Det er kort sagt medrivende ny videnskabshistorie, eller som National Geographic skrev: "En dramatisk rejse tilbage i tiden".

"How scientists are unravelling one of the most tantalizing questions in paleontology. Our understanding of dinosaur behavior has long been hampered by the inevitable lack of evidence from animals that went extinct more than sixty-five million years ago and whose daily behaviors are rarely reflected by the fossil record. Today, with the discovery of new specimens and the development of new and cutting-edge techniques, paleontologists are making major advances in reconstructing how dinosaurs lived and acted. Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior provides an unparalleled look at this emerging field of science, presenting the latest findings on dinosaur behavior and explaining how researchers interpret the often minimal and even conflicting information available to them.David Hone begins by introducing readers to the fundamentals of dinosaur biology, diversity, and evolution, and goes on to describe behaviors across the whole range of species and groups, from feeding and communication to reproduction, sociality, and combat. Speculation about dinosaur behavior goes back to the earliest scientific studies of these "terrible lizards." Hone traces how frontier science is opening a window onto prehistoric life like never before, and discusses future directions of research in this thrilling and rapidly growing area of paleontology.Written by one of the world's leading dinosaur experts and featuring accurate color recreations by paleoartist Gabriel Ugueto along with a wealth of photos and diagrams, Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior is a foundational work on the subject and an invaluable reference for anyone interested in these amazing creatures"--

Impossible Monsters is the captivating story of the discovery of the dinosaurs and how it upended our understanding of the origins of the world.'An astonishing book about an extraordinary subject' PETER FRANKOPAN'As thrilling as it is sweeping' TOM HOLLAND'This book dazzles in its originality . . . a triumph' SATHNAM SANGHERAIn 1811, a twelve-year-old girl uncovered some strange-looking bones in Britain's southern shoreline. They belonged to no known creature and were buried beneath a hundred feet of rock. Over the next two decades, as several more of these 'impossible monsters' emerged from the soil, the leading scientists of the day were forced to confront a profoundly disturbing possibility: the Bible, as a historical account of the Earth's origins, was wildly wrong.This is the dramatic story of the crisis that engulfed science and religion when we discovered the dinosaurs. It takes us into the lives and minds of the extraordinary men and women who made these heretical discoveries, those who resisted them, as well as the pioneering thinkers, Darwin most famous among them, who took great risks to construct a new account of the earth's and mankind's origins.Impossible Monsters is the riveting story of a group of people who not only thought impossible things but showed them to be true. In the process they overturned the literal reading of the Bible, liberated science from the authority of religion and ushered in the secular age.'Truly marvellous ... an intellectual thriller' RICHARD HOLMES'A stunning work ... of surprises and revelations' STEVE BRUSATTE

Even though the "Golden Age of Newspapers" came to an end in the early 20th Century, tales of dinosaurian monsters remained in print. Plus, with photographic evidence of mystery creatures like Nessie and Bigfoot emerging, not to mention the new science of cryptozoology, perhaps the idea of remnant dinosaurs wasn't so strange after all. This new tome in the Cowboys & Saurians series sets out to explore North America's more notable dinosaur and cryptid encounters of the modern era. From Nebraska's Walgren Lake Monster fiasco of the Roaring Twenties to the Minnesota Ice Man of the Swinging Sixties all the way up to the Colorado River Dinosaur phenomenon of the early 2000s, this tome hits all the high points. After reading this book, you'll ask yourself: Was a North Dakota farmer's account of nearly being run off the road by a dinosaur in 1934 inspired by the Arthur Grant Loch Ness account of the same year, or was it a genuine close-call with a cryptid? Was the "vampire" Beast of Bladenboro a run-of-the-mill varmint, or a supernatural shapeshifter out for blood? Was the animal behind the Texas "Big Bird" Flap of 1976 a pterosaur? Did starved, Depression-Era Wisconsinites take to eating a race of rare, pygmy mastodons? Was the infamous Glacier Island carcass of the 1930s a dinosaur or a whale? Why did a Churubusco, Indiana, farmer nearly go bankrupt trying to prove the existence of a titanic turtle? Was Kentucky's Milton Lizard a descendant of Ohio's Crosswicks Monster? And, finally, what does an 1892 Iguanodon sighting at Devil's Hole have to do with a lost city of giants found under the sands of Death Valley in 1947?

Ever wondered what it would be like if dinosaurs existed in the Victorian era, and dressed as humans? Well, look no further. This whimsical coloring book is here to answer your questions. Let your imagination run wild with this fun, albeit historically inaccurate activity book.

"As the co-discoverer of the first known burrowing dinosaur and a popular science author, Anthony J. Martin is an expert at explaining his fossil-finding work to broad audiences. In this engaging book, Martin uses modern and fossil traces to introduce readers to a menagerie of animals and other lifeforms that dig, crunch, bore, and otherwise reshape our planet. We meet elephants that dig ballroom-sized caves alongside volcanoes, parrotfishes that chew coral reefs and poop out sandy beaches, dinosaur-eating crocodiles, and moon snails that drill into clams, or even other moon snails. In a detective story that spans millions of years, ranging from microbes to whales, Martin shows how when life got hard, life got boring, using bodies and behavior to hide, eat, attack, and defend, affecting both our world and our understanding of evolution, climate, and life itself"--

Jordkloden kan ikke længere brødføde menneskeheden. Men til alt held har forskere fundet et ormehul - et tidshul, der gør, at man kan sende bønder og deres familie tilbage til kridttiden. Jorden var dengang stadig frodig og grøn, og dinosaurerne levede. Da ti-årige Remo kommer til Camp Dinorox med sine forældre, går hans drøm i opfyldelse. Endelig rigtige dinosaurer! Men der er strenge regler i lejren. Man skal gå i skole - også selv om det er tilbage i kridttiden. Og Remo må skuffet erkende, at der ingen dinosaurer er at se. Men så tager skoleklassen på tur ud i vildmarken - og den dag ændrer alt. Sammen med sine nye venner befinder Remo sig alene i junglen - omgivet af farlige dinosaurer.

Integrating these various factors improves our understanding of dinosaurs as the living beings they were in their ecosystems millions of years ago and ultimately expands our knowledge and perspective of today's ecosystems by framing them in a broader evolutionary context.

This is the story of the dinosaurs, uniquely retold through 50 of the most significant findings from the fossil record. Each entry is illustrated with special photography of original specimens that illustrate both the history of dinosaur discovery and key evolutionary events. Palaeontologist Paul M. Barrett explains the importance of each fossil and how it marks a crucial inflection point in an evolutionary dynasty that ruled the Earth for more than 150 million years. The book is divided into themed sections, beginning with dinosaur ancestors before introducing all the major dinosaur groups and moving on to the distinctive aspects of their biology such as feeding, distribution, locomotion and behaviour. The final section focuses on the first fossil birds including the legendary Archaeopteryx, the feathered dinosaur that is widely considered to be the first bird species.
