THE ULTIMATE DINOSAUR BIOGRAPHY, hails Scientific American A thrilling new history of the age of dinosaurs, from one of our finest young scientists. A New York Times Bestseller - Goodreads Choice Awards WINNER A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Smithsonian, NPR Science Friday, The Times (London), Popular Mechanics, Science News, Library Journal, Booklist, and Chicago Public Library A masterpiece of science writing. --Washington Post This is scientific storytelling at its most visceral, striding with the beasts through their Triassic dawn, Jurassic dominance, and abrupt demise in the Cretaceous. --Nature The dinosaurs.

The story continues to the end of the Cretaceous period, when a giant asteroid or comet struck the planet and nearly every dinosaur species (but not all) died out, in the most extraordinary extinction event in earth\'s history, one full of lessons for today as we confront a sixth extinction. Brusatte also recalls compelling stories from his globe-trotting expeditions during one of t
