The dinosaurs of the Cretaceous period come to life in this expandable accordion book that provides a 3-D view of more than a dozen prehistoric creatures. Beautiful, scientifically accurate illustrations include the stars of the dinosaur world, including the three-horned Triceratops and the huge carnivore Tyrannosaurus Rex, as well as the lesser-known Styracosaurus, or "spiked lizard," with horns sprouting from its head and neck. A 16-page guide to the Cretaceous period and its dinosaurs is also included.

The astonishing world of the dinosaurs never fails to fascinate. We know so much more about these extraordinary creatures than ever before but the essence of the world in which they lived and moved and the drama of their departure can only be imagined. John Sibbick captures that essence in the vast sweep of his landscapes and the understanding of the scientific detail in his superbly realised artwork. True to geological time, the book traces the rise and fall of the dynasties of the dinosaurs and chronicles their story through the tales of the dinosaur hunters of the modern age. Science and art combine to make this an outstanding, accessible and beautiful work.
