"Imagine my astonishment when, several years ago, I discovered that my great grandfather Edward Blackwell had been a dinosaur fossil hunter in the American West . . .
This book is a tribute to my lost relative, and to the vanished world that gripped him so." —Archie Blackwell

Dazzling artwork of dinosaurs and their prehistoric environments combine with awesome CGI scenes that capture the beasts in their natural habitats, as if they still roamed the Earth.
