Blending history and fantasy, science and art, the story of how dinosaurs were discovered and reimagined comes to life through splendid illustrations in this handsome slipcased volume. Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Brontosaurus, Tyrannosaurus...these exotic prehistoric creatures continue to fascinate more than 200 million years after they last roamed the earth. Dinosaur skeletons have been reconstituted, reconstructed, and interpreted by scientists and artists since the first fossils were uncovered near Cañon City, Colorado, in 1877, sparking the Bone Wars. In 1907, the Carnegie Museum of Natural History mounted "Dippy" the Diplodocus, which sparked dinomania, igniting the imagination of popular culture and Hollywood. From the Morrison Formation to Montana's Hell Creek, and from Mongolia's Gobi Desert to Argentina's Patagonia, new discoveries and excavations have uncovered a lost kingdom that has inspired myriad homages.

Alternant dessins de recherche monumentaux au fusain qui sont des oeuvres à part entière, et sculptures, d'abord sur bois, son matériau de prédilection qu'il taille à la tronçonneuse, ce livre objet spectaculaire, dont la jaquette se déploie en affiche, est la première grande monographie d'un artiste à la renommée désormais internationale. Une rétrospective en images de plus de 20 années de projets en collaboration avec des musées, des paysagistes, des architectes et des galeries.
