## Description

An illustrated look at the art and science of paleontology from its origins to today
Humans have been stumbling upon the petrified remains of ancient animals since prehistoric times, leading to tales of giant dogs, deadly dragons, tree gods, sea serpents, and all manner of strange and marvelous creatures. In this richly illustrated book, David Bainbridge recounts how legends like these gradually gave rise to the modern science of paleontology, and how this pioneering discipline has reshaped our view of the natural world.
Bainbridge takes readers from ancient Greece to the eighteenth century, when paleontology began to coalesce into the scientific field we know today, and discusses how contemporary paleontologists use cutting-edge technologies to flesh out the discoveries of past and present. He brings to life the stories and people behind some of the greatest fossil finds of all time, and explains how paleontology has long straddled the spheres of science and art. Bainbridge also looks to the future of the discipline, discussing how the rapid recovery of DNA and other genetic material from the fossil record promises to revolutionize our understanding of the origins and evolution of ancient life.
This panoramic book brings together stunning illustrations ranging from early sketches and engravings to eye-popping paleoart and high-tech computer reconstructions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book
*by T***N on December 30, 2025*

Great book for information about dinosaurs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Extensive Knowledge/Summary of the World of Paleontology
*by M***. on January 1, 2025*

Got this for my 16 year old son who has a high interest in the world of paleontology. In today’s electronic age a hardcover book is an unusual experience. But he dug right into the book and came away very impressed and excited with all of the knowledge he gained by reading it. He was especially pleased with all of the pictures and illustrations!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for teens
*by A***N on January 10, 2026*

We got this for our 15 year old nephew for Christmas. He spent the entire evening Christmas Eve reading it! It was a hit!!!
