You've never seen a dinosaur book like this before! The Ultimate Dinosaur Encyclopedia is a whole new type of encyclopedia, developed in conjunction with cutting-edge 3D-art and science. Using groundbreaking recent research, palaeontologist Chris Barker recreates the world of prehistoric giants with photorealistic images more life-like than any you've seen before.

The book explores every era of prehistoric life, beginning with the origins of life in the world's oceans, moving to the first land-based vertebrates, and on to the reign of the dinosaurs and beyond. Based on only the most modern and authentic science, some familiar dinosaurs take on a whole new appearance. See these majestic creatures in their natural habitat, understand their parallels with modern animals, and learn everything about how they moved, ate, fought and hunted.

This brand-new updated paperback edition also includes brand new carnivorous dinosaurs discovered by the author himself, which have never before been seen in print. Please note that this edition does not include augmented reality elements.
