Dinosaurs

Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Diplodocus, Allosaurus, Iguanodon, Tyrannosaurus rex.... These exotic prehistoric creatures continue to fascinate more than 200 million years after they last roamed the earth.

New discoveries and excavations - from the Morrison Formation to Montana's Hell Creek and from Mongolia's Gobi desert to Argentina's Patagonia - have uncovered a lost kingdom that has inspired myriad artistic and literary homages. Blending history and fantasy, science and art, the story of how dinosaurs were discovered and reimagined comes to life through rich iconography and descriptions from explorers, artists, writers, and filmmakers such as Benjamin W. Hawkins, Charles R. Knight, Zdeněk Burian, Jules Verne, and Steven Spielberg.
