The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New Story of a Lost World

Quirky, unusual, majestic lizard-like creatures have captured the imagination of mankind since we learned about them in the middle of the 19th century. Dinosaurs are creatures that ruled the Earth for 150 million years and were wiped out almost instantly 66 million years ago by the fall of a giant meteorite.

With his book "The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of a Lost World," Steve Brusatte, one of the world's leading paleontologists, invites readers on a fascinating journey through the world of dinosaurs: from their dominance in the early Triassic period, through the Jurassic period to the last days of the Cretaceous era. Primitive tyrannosaurs with human height; monstrous carnivorous creatures even larger than the T. Rex; feathered carnivorous dinosaurs preserved in layers of lava - welcome to a scientific space-time odyssey into the world of creatures that ruled the Earth before us.
