This factbook explains how advanced technology is used to unearth animals that vanished from the face of the earth 65 million years ago and how tiny clues are pieced together to construct these "terrible lizards". The book also shows where the world's most famous sites are, and what tales they tell. The dinosaurs explored include a group of Coelophysis swept away in a flash flood in Late Triassic Arizona, Oviraptors that baby-sit in Late Cretaceous Mongolia as well as creatures that shared the dinosaurs' world but somehow survive the catastrophe that wiped out the most spectacular animals ever known.
