Forget about Jurassic Park: now science tells you about the most amazing dinosaurs. Signed by two paleontologists, this is the first book to discover the spectacular nature of real dinosaurs, several times painted with little adherence to reality in favour of…narrative needs. It is not true in fact that “if you stand still the tyrannosaurus does not see you”, that “the Gigantosaurus is a predator” or that “the Pteranodon is a great Flying dinosaur. The authors tell us that “scientifically rigorous” is not synonimous with boring. Indeed sometimes reality can make you roll with laugher. Think of an all-pink triceratops or of a dancing T-Rex …no movies tell you about dinosaurs like science does.
