Walking With Dinosaurs: The Evidence (DK Walking with Dinosaurs)

The Evidence goes beyond the fascinating material in Walking with Dinosaurs, the best-selling book that accompanied the phenomenally successful TV series. The Evidence covers the methods of the research processes that formed the backbone of the series. How was the information obtained, what suppositions have been made, and how did this translate to the programs? Around 250 million years ago dinosaurs first began to walk the earth, dominating the planet until their extinction 65 million years ago. In this incredible Mesozoic period lasting 170 million years, these creatures were the dominant animals on land. Walking with Dinosaurs-The Evidence explores the archeologists' and scientists' discoveries and shows how they piece together the lives of these fascinating creatures. Comprehensively illustrated, the book explains how the bones of dinosaurs and the ground in which they're found in can lead to conclusions about feeding habits, movement, mating, habitat, and the climate of the time. wwdscience-4 wwdscience-2 wwdscience0 wwdscience2 wwdscience4 wwdscience6 wwdscience8 wwdscience10 wwdscience12 wwdscience14 wwdscience16 wwdscience18 wwdscience20 wwdscience22 wwdscience24 wwdscience26 wwdscience28 wwdscience30 wwdscience32 wwdscience34 wwdscience36 wwdscience38 wwdscience40 wwdscience42 wwdscience44 wwdscience46 wwdscience48 wwdscience50 wwdscience52 wwdscience54 wwdscience56 wwdscience58 wwdscience60 wwdscience62 wwdscience64 wwdscience66 wwdscience68 wwdscience70 wwdscience72 wwdscience74 wwdscience76 wwdscience78 wwdscience80 wwdscience82 wwdscience84 wwdscience86 wwdscience88 wwdscience90 wwdscience92 wwdscience94 wwdscience96 wwdscience98 wwdscience100 wwdscience102 wwdscience104 wwdscience106 wwdscience108 wwdscience110 wwdscience112 wwdscience114 wwdscience116 wwdscience118 wwdscience120 wwdscience122 wwdscience124 wwdscience126 wwdscience128 wwdscience130 wwdscience132 wwdscience134 wwdscience136 wwdscience138 wwdscience140 wwdscience142 wwdscience144 wwdscience146 wwdscience148 wwdscience150 wwdscience152 wwdscience154 wwdscience156 wwdscience158 wwdscience160 wwdscience162 wwdscience164 wwdscience166 wwdscience168 wwdscience170 wwdscience172 wwdscience174 Until time travel allows us to see them at first hand, U. of Oregon's Kent Stevens's computer-generated models of dinosaurs, realistically set within photographed landscapes and reproduced here in color plates, provide a satisfying substitute. This volume (it's meant to accompany Walking with dinosaurs; fascinating facts published simultaneously) was produced from the BBC show of the same name. Its up-to-date information (the authors are paleontologists) is presented in an accessible style for the non-specialist. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
