{"product_id":"dinosaurs-1","title":"Dinosaurs","description":"Blending  history  and  fantasy,  science  and  art,  the   story of how dinosaurs were discovered and reimagined  comes to life through splendid illustrations in this hand - some slipcased volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Stegosaurus, triceratops, brontosaurus, diplodocus,  allosaurus, iguanodon, tyrannosaurus rex ... these  exotic prehistoric creatures continue to fascinate  more than 200 million years after they last roamed  the  earth.  Indisputably  the  stuff  of  fantasy  and   legend, dinosaurs are also imposing and decidedly  real remnants of a bygone antediluvian period. Their  skeletons have been reconstituted, reconstructed, and  interpreted by scientists and artists since the first  fossils were uncovered near Canyon City, Colorado in  1877, sparking the Bone Wars. In 1907, the Carnegie  Museum of Natural History mounted \"Dippy\" the  diplodocus, which sparked  dinomania , igniting the  imagination of popular culture and Hollywood. From  the Morrison Formation to Montana's Hell Creek, and  from Mongolia's Gobi desert to Argentina's Patagonia,  new discoveries and excavations have uncovered a  lost kingdom that has inspired myriad homages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  This  volume  enriches  our  understanding  of   dinosaurs through rich visual iconography-from  paintings, drawings, and sketches, to new photography,  film  stills,  reconstructed  skeletons,  and  archival   documents-along with detailed descriptions and  anecdotes from great nineteenth-century explorers,  artists, writers and filmmakers such as Benjamin W.  Hawkins, Charles R. Knight, Zdenek Burian, Jules  Verne, and Steven Spielberg.","brand":"Flammarion S.A.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664463532068,"sku":"9782080203762","price":21.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9782080203762.jpg?v=1780429887","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/dinosaurs-1","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
