Walking with Dinosaurs: A Natural History

Rating:
Summary: The title is incorrect....
Review: It should be more like "Being a Dinosaur!" Mr. Haines is an exellent author and this book could certinly become a classic. If you've watched the TV show then you'll notice that some parts differ (in the book) from the show, notebly the "T.Rex-Anklo Death Scene," but it's still a good book for everyone. It's worth the price.

Summary: Passes the Kid Test
Review: My almost-10-year-old grandson, a self-declared future paleontologist with a large collection of dinosaur books and a wide knowledge of dinosaurs, thought this was the best Christmas present I gave him. What further recommendation would anyone need?

Summary: Digging dinosaurs
Review: The storybook nature of this book helps one to get absorbed in the life of the creatures we know so little about, but about which our curiousity runs amok. Only Hopp's recent Dinosaur Wars, a science fiction novel, brings more detail to the doings of the great beasts. Science keeps evolving and so do the books dealing with it. This is a good one.

Summary: Everything there is about Dinosaurs!
Review: This book has to be one of the best books ever when it comes to explaining dinosaurs and their prehistoric life. As you begin to read this book, you will begin to notice how many details the information goes into. Plus, there are loads of outstanding pictures that decorate each page of the book. Tim Haines seems to have a very easy way of explaining complicated aspects of the dinosaurs, and as a result, the book turns into a fasinating read for everyone, (dinosaur enthusiast or not). Scales, timelines, graphs and diagrams fill each page to the brim with colour and information. Once you pick it up, you won't be able to put it down!

Summary: walking with dinosaurs
Review: This book is dino-mite!!! It is full of interesting facts and great pictures. It tells about the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretacous period. And even a whole chapter on life underwater and the giant Lioplerodon. You'll find Plateosaurus, sauropods, pterosaurs, Lioplerodon, dwarf Allosaurs, Torosaurus, and the fearsome T - rex. I recommend this book to many dinosaur fans.

Summary: You've got to get it!
Review: This book is really great! Though I haven't seen the BBC series Walking With Dinosaurs yet (thanks to god damn region code for DVD players!), this book gives me the opportunity to travel to the past and witness the world of dinosaurs as I've never seen it before. The art work is amazing and the creatures seem so real that you might think they're still living, hunting, mating and so on. The text is very informative and easy to read as well. I also bought the Walking With Prehistoric Beasts book and it is as good as the first one. So, if I were you I wouldn't think twice: get both right now! And have a nice trip to the prehistoric world.

Summary: Photo Dossier of the Mesozoic
Review: This is a very attractive book, eye candy for those of us who imagine and live through this pictures the era of the Dinosauria. It is organized and has beautiful pictures of the TV series. However, I am a bit dissapointed on the fact that it is rather shallow in accurate info on these animals, being little more than the storyboard to the series before mentioned. If you've seen the series don't expect nothing new in this book.

Summary: Everything there is to know about dinosaurs
Review: Though dinosaurs died off more than 65 million years ago, our fascination with them--as anyone who's ever heard of Jurassic Park knows--is far from extinct. Now comes this astounding illustrated tour of their world, to coincide with the Discovery Channel's program of the same name that originally aired to tremendous acclaim on the BBC. Innovatively illustrated with images created by a combination of photography and state-of-the-art computer graphics and written by award-winning BBC series producer Haines, this magnificent natural history will help readers imagine that ancient and alien world more completely than ever before. When dinosaurs first roamed the planet, earth had high sea levels and no ice caps and was covered by one giant continent, Pangaea, which was slowly disintegrating. It wasn't until the end of the Mesozoic era that the land masses began to more closely resemble our current world. Among the inhabitants presented in the book are the carnivorous Coelophysis, one of the smallest and earliest dinosaurs of record; the gigantic and brutal Tyrannosaurus; the ambush predator of the sea Cryptoclidus; and the huge, vegetarian Diplodocus. Spanning the middle of the Triassic period more than 220 million years ago, when dinosaurs were making their first appearance, through the Late Cretaceous period 65 million years ago, as they were dying off, this marvelously illustrated volume renders a vivid portrait of the extraordinary beasts' violent existence amid an ever-changing terrain.
