📖 Dinosaurs: Fossils and Feathers

Science Comics: Dinosaurs: Fossils & Feathers is a comic book which educates children on how scientists discovered dinosaurs in the last 150 years and how our thinking of the creatures developed. It tells us how we believed that our planet was not even thousands of years old, while nowadays scientists state that our Earth is billions of years old and dinosaurs roamed our planet about 65 million years ago. The book gives a brief overview of the history of paleontology and describes how hunters and paleontologists unearthed fossilized remains and debated on different theories until an image of the ancient animals became more understandable. The readers will learn how some present-day creatures such as birds appeared from dinosaurs and understand that dinosaurs were much more complex than we used to think at school. I recommend this book to people who love dinosaurs.

《Science Comics: Dinosaurs: Fossils & Feathers》是一本面向儿童的漫画科普书,介绍了科学家在过去150年里是如何发现恐龙化石,并逐渐改变我们对恐龙认识的过程。书中讲述了人类曾经认为地球只有几千年的历史,而现代科学则认为地球已有数十亿年的年龄,恐龙大约在6500万年前生活在地球上。 这本书还简要介绍了古生物学的发展历史,说明了探险者和古生物学家如何挖掘化石,并在不同理论之间不断争论,最终逐渐拼凑出史前生物的真实形象。读者还可以了解到一些现代鸟类其实起源于恐龙,并认识到恐龙比我们在学校里曾经想象的要复杂得多。 我推荐这本书给喜欢恐龙的朋友们。
