About the Book

As much as two hundred and fifty-three million years ago, the most incredible beasts roamed this earth. They ruled supreme on the land, under the water, and in the air for some one hundred million years before their time came to an end. Now, all these years later, we study their bones--and the earth's memory of their bones--to learn as much about them as we can. For years, humans have marveled at dinosaurs and have strived to learn more about these great beasts. The Secrets of Dinosaurs, the first volume from the PNSO Children's Encyclopedia, is a valuable book for anyone who shares this fascination! With beautifully detailed illustrations and thorough information on nearly one hundred species spanning three geological periods, you can immerse yourself in their world and learn all the secrets of dinosaurs!

About the Author :
ZHAO Chuang and YANG Yang are two professionals who work together to create scientific art. Mr. ZHAO Chuang, a scientific artist, and Ms. YANG Yang, an author of scientific children's books, started working together when they jointly founded PNSO, an organization devoted to the research and creation of scientific art in Beijing on June 1st, 2010. A few months later, they launched Scientific Art Projects Plan: Stories on Earth (2010-2070). The plan uses scientific art to create a captivating, historically accurate narrative. These narratives are based on the latest sci¬entific research, focusing on the complex relationships between species, natural environments, communities, and cultures. The narratives consider the perspectives of human civilizations while exploring Earth's past, present, and future. The PNSO founders plan to spend 60 years to do research and create unique and engaging scientific art and literature for people around the world. They hope to share scientific knowledge through publications, exhibi¬tions

Review :
Praise for PNSO Encyclopedia for Children: The Secrets of Dinosaurs: "There's a more traditional aura of ferocity in Zhao Chuang's glossy, dramatic portraits for 'The Secrets of Dinosaurs' . . . Yang Yang's enthusiastic text brings a measure of levity to scenes of thrilling menace!" -The Wall Street Journal "A must-read . . . beautiful guide for dinosaur lovers."-The Chicago Sun-Times "Will be devoured by dinosaur lovers everywhere."-Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A range of detailed illustrations, created in collaboration with paleontologists, accompany fact-filled descriptions of dinosaurs from the Mesozoic era."--Publishers Weekly "A hit for middle grade browsers and budding paleontologists alike!"-School Library Journal "PNSO Encyclopedia for Children: The Secrets of Dinosaurs by Zhao Chuang and Yang Yang features many recently discovered dinosaurs that even the most knowledgeable young experts aren't likely to have heard of before . . . fascinating, awe-inspiring and important." -Matt Lamanna, Mary R. Dawson Associate Curator and Head of Vertebrate Paleontology, Carnegie Museum of Natural History "This is one of the most beautifully illustrated children's books on dinosaurs that I have seen. Zhao Chuang's imagery makes the extinct behemoths, as well as the tinier forms, come alive in all their glory. Yang Yang's writing provides simple and easily understandable text to go along with the marvelous artwork. This book is sure to be a treasured volume in many a child's library and one that may even attract some toward the scientific profession. Highly recommended as a gift for the budding young paleontologist."-Lance Grande, Negaunee Distinguished Service Curator of The Field Museum, and author of Curators: Behind the Scenes of Natural History Museums "From the opening panoply of feathered, spiked, beaked, plated, toothed, clawed and colorful dinosaurs, Zhao and Yang effortlessly convey scientifically informed perspectives on the wonderful world of the Mesozoic Era. Stretching from the Triassic to the Cretaceous, while spanning the globe from Argentina to Australia and back again, the diverse assemblage of animals curated in The Secrets of Dinosaurs provides a 21st century view on dinosaurs of all flavors, effectively capturing the biological wonder inherent in such amazing creatures. Each species account provides the necessary 'who, what, where and when, ' while at the same time providing the audience with high-fidelity scientific insight into anatomy, function and behavior that is sure to engage readers of any age and any background."-Dr. Patrick O'Connor, Professor, Paleontologist, and National Geographic Explorer, College of Medicine, Ohio University "This book feels like a field guide come to life. The illustrations of dinosaurs are really beautiful and sometimes a little scary. Children of all ages will have to remind themselves that these are reconstructions of a vibrant extinct world-not scenes painted from life today. The text shows whimsy and fun. The author's enthusiasm comes across on every page."-Julia Clarke, J. A. Wilson Professor in Vertebrate Paleontology, Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of Texas at Austin
