Join us on the most incredible safari imaginable: a journey back in time through the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous worlds to meet the most amazing creatures ever to have walked the Earth. Emerging over 230 million years ago as small carnivores that scurried about on two legs, the dinosaurs quickly expanded into a dizzying array of species that spread worldwide. For the next 160 million years the dinosaurs dominated ecosystems across the globe until a sudden catastrophic extinction event ended their reign. Field Guide to Dinosaurs allows you to see these astonishing animals in dramatic detail. Our intrepid prehistoric explorers will observe over 100 dinosaurs using ultra high-tech imaging equipment from the (relative) safety of a time travelling armoured personnel carrier. Data streams and digital catalogue pages provide the very latest research and information on all aspects of these creatures: from their height, weight, habitats and habits to their formidable attack and defence systems. Specifically designed and written for children aged 8+ years; printed in dramatic over-sized format and packed with more than 100 spectacular computer generated images, Field Guide to Dinosaurs is quite simply the biggest, best and most exciting dinosaur book ever published.
