Editor’s Note
- Mandy Kirkby, Editor
In this sequel to The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs, world-leading palaeontologist and Jurassic Park consultant Steve Brusatte introduces us to the extraordinary creatures that inherited the Earth after the great dinosaur extinction: sabre-toothed tigers, woolly mammoths, super-sized rhinos, whales that could walk, armadillos the size of a small car – and us.
It's a thrilling story brilliantly told by Brusatte, who has worked closely with Folio on all aspects of this edition, from the brand new selection of world-class fossil photography, the separate folding map of fossil locations and ancient continents, and the star of the show – the specially commissioned magnificent spreads of primeval mammals in their natural settings by the great palaeo-artist ('the Italian maestro' according to Brusatte) – Davide Bonadonna.
