From things that fall from the sky (great green globs!) to the birth of the moon, exploding stars, wooden spaceships, life in deep space, this bird's-eye view of the universe takes us all the way to the end of the solar system and back again. Dinosaurs Aren't Dead exposes an amazing truth: while practically all of the many species of dinosaurs died out spectacularly 65 million years ago, one species did survive, and still lives today - the birds. The book is highly illustrated with lots of black and white cartoons to explain the Big Bang theory, shifting tectonic plates and dinosaur evolution.
Dr Karl has published more than twenty books. He appears regularly on TV, has hosted Sleek Geeks with Adam Spencer (with a new series in production in 2010) and is an engaging commentator on the scientific phenomena around us.
