Over the past twenty years, the study of dinosaurs has become a full-fledged scientific discipline. New technologies have revealed secrets hidden in prehistoric bones that were previously unimaginable. We can now determine the color of dinosaurs, the strength of their bite, their top speed, and even whether they cared for their young.
In the book "Dinosaurs. A New Look", the world's leading paleontologist, Professor of the University of Bristol, Michael James Benton, tells how the latest discoveries are changing our understanding of dinosaurs, transforming paleobiology from the realm of vague assumptions into one of the most accurate biological sciences. Among other things, the book tells about how dinosaur remains are found and excavated, and how their colors, size, diet and behavior are reconstructed from fossilized remains. Benton's story proves that dinosaurs, although long extinct, are still part of our world.
