World-leading palaeontol­ogist Michael J. Benton cracks open the fossil evidence to reveal the truth behind what dinosaurs looked like in this fascinatin­g and remarkably illustrate­d guide.

Benton breaks down the science behind the appearance of dinosaurs and whether they had feathers, fur or scales. Taking 15 examples of animals long lost from Earth, Benton takes an intricate look at the methods scientists have used to decode the history of dinosaurs, while Nicholls has produced terrifical­ly detailed illustrati­ons with that informatio­n. Not only can the reader expect to discover some surprising changes in their perspectiv­e of dinosaurs, but are guaranteed to be introduced to new species entirely. Overall, this is a fascinatin­g read for any natural history enthusiast, although it is clearly written with a more adult analytic brain in mind.
