Walking with dinosaurs


Walking with dinosaurs: A natural history by Tim Haines. The most spectacular aspect of the book is the images. By using computer graphics and animation of models the combined effects are wonderful new images of dinosaurs and other contemporary animals from marine and flying reptiles to mammals. The story starts in New Mexico, as it was 220 million years ago (Late Triassic times), and focuses on the early days of dinosaur evolution. We are progressing through four time frames before fetching up at the end of the dinosaur road with the aptly named Hell Creek in the western US, 65 million years ago at the time of the crisis which has concluded with dinosaur extinction.
