Daniel, eight, and Mark, 11, never expected that a day spent tubing down Flatbed Creek would turn into one of the most exciting dinosaur finds in the past 20 years. Take this "you are there" tour of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, where six "hollow spots" discovered by the two boys in 93-million-year-old rock led to the discovery of the longest dinosaur trackway in the province -- and a new direction in North American dinosaur research! Daniel's Dinosaurs follows the two boys as they work alongside dinosaur track expert Rich McCrea and world-famous paleontologist Dr. Philip Currie. Their discoveries have astounded them all. In the process of surveying and measuring the trackway, a dinosaur bone was discovered -- in rocks that are 93 million years old. Very little dinosaur bone has been found from this time period anywhere in the world. Further exploration of the site unearthed the province's first dinosaur skeleton -- almost definitely a new species! And even more research revealed not just a single skeleton, but a dinosaur bone bed. It's a book that will be treasured by children everywhere, both for its insight into cutting-edge dinosaur discovery and for the inspiring proof of what young people can achieve.

Renowned paleontologist Robert T. Bakker and award-winning paleoartist Luis V. Rey combine forces in this oversized picture book about the evolution of dinosaurs. From the conquest of land by dino ancestor Acanthostega during the Devonian Period, through the mass die-off of dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous Period, Bakker and Rey take readers on a safari through time while paying subtle homage to the 1960 Giant Golden Book Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Reptiles that inspired them both as young dinophiles. With stops along the way to look at monster bugs, ferocious fin-backs, fluffy dinosaurs, sea monsters and the 12-year-old girl who discovered them, dinosaur orchestras, tickling tyrannosaurs, and much, much more, this is a journey readers will never forget. It's a perfect gift for young dinosaur lovers as well as adult fans of Dr. Bakker and Luis Rey!"

What would dinosaurs do about fake news if they were alive today? Two young troodons, Soloyo and Tyru, don’t agree about anything except that they need to do something—and fast—about a mysterious creature that was spotted in the farmlands. Livestock are being murdered. Prized show raptors are disappearing. Troodons are buying weapons to kill something no one has gotten a good look at, but everyone is forming strong opinions about. Is ‘The Forest Monster’ an endangered creature pushed out of its natural habitat, or a murderous beast with an appetite for young dinosaurs? Soloyo and Tyru must question what they thought were obvious truths and become more critical thinkers to solve the mystery.

A lively account of how dinosaurs became a symbol of American power and prosperity and gripped the popular imagination during the Gilded Age, when their fossil remains were collected and displayed in museums financed by North America’s wealthiest business tycoons. Although dinosaur fossils were first found in England, a series of dramatic discoveries during the late 1800s turned North America into a world center for vertebrate paleontology. At the same time, the United States emerged as the world’s largest industrial economy, and creatures like Tyrannosaurus, Brontosaurus, and Triceratops became emblems of American capitalism. Large, fierce, and spectacular, American dinosaurs dominated the popular imagination, making front-page headlines and appearing in feature films. Assembling the Dinosaur follows dinosaur fossils from the field to the museum and into the commercial culture of North America’s Gilded Age. Business tycoons like Andrew Carnegie and J. P. Morgan made common cause with vertebrate paleontologists to capitalize on the widespread appeal of dinosaurs, using them to project American exceptionalism back into prehistory. Learning from the show-stopping techniques of P. T. Barnum, museums exhibited dinosaurs to attract, entertain, and educate the public. By assembling the skeletons of dinosaurs into eye-catching displays, wealthy industrialists sought to cement their own reputations as generous benefactors of science, showing that modern capitalism could produce public goods in addition to profits. Behind the scenes, museums adopted corporate management practices to control the movement of dinosaur bones, restricting their circulation to influence their meaning and value in popular culture. Tracing the entwined relationship of dinosaurs, capitalism, and culture during the Gilded Age, Lukas Rieppel reveals the outsized role these giant reptiles played during one of the most consequential periods in American history.
