Dinosaurs in Comics. Volume 1

Everyone loves dinosaurs, it's an undeniable fact. How can one not love these incredible creatures that lived many millions of years ago? Moreover, great things are seen from a distance... So what did this "distance" of 65.5 million years give... us? What do we really know about dinosaurs? Strangely enough, all our knowledge about these reptiles has come primarily from artistic works - which, unfortunately, rarely claim to be accurate. To fill this gap, screenwriter Arno Plumeri and artist Bloz took on the task, the authors of the popular French series "Dinosaurs in Comics," which continues the collection of books that have already won the hearts of Russian readers - "Insects in Comics" and "Marine Animals in Comics." "Dinosaurs..." follows the same well-established scheme seen in the aforementioned series: rollicking humor plus carefully selected scientific information reflecting the latest achievements in global paleontology. Thanks to this book, you will learn when dinosaurs appeared and when they went extinct; what their bizarre names mean; how the allosaurus differs from the tarbosaurus; which dinosaur can be considered the smartest, and which the dumbest; how fossils form and what the Belgian Bernissart mine is famous for... And, of course, you will get an answer to the most important question that concerns any real dino-fan: when will scientists finally recreate dinosaurs as it was done in the movie "Jurassic Park"?
