Told sequentially, in 10 chapters that span nearly 200 million years, the story of the dinosaurs has a classic narrative arc, from scrappy Triassic underdogs to the powerful behemoths immortalized in popular culture. Brusatte presents some of his most compelling findings, including a car-sized Portuguese salamander, the long-snouted “Pinocchio” Tyrannosaurus rex, and a Scottish sea dragon called the Dearcmhara.

Stephen Brusatte is a paleontologist at the University of Edinburgh

In this ambitious and engrossing narrative history that spans nearly 200 million years, Stephen Brusatte, a young American paleontologist who has emerged as one of the foremost stars of the field— discovering ten new species and leading groundbreaking scientific studies—tells the complete story of the life and death of the dinosaurs. Brusatte follows these magnificent creatures from the Early Triassic period at the start of their evolution, roughly 250 million years ago, through the Jurassic Period to the end of the Cretaceous Period (66 million years ago), when a giant meteor struck the earth and all non-bird species went extinct.
