A paleoartist is an illustrator who specialises in the science and art of reconstructing ancient animals and their world.
In "Dinosaur Art," ten of the top contemporary paleoartists reveal a selection of their work and exclusively discuss their working methods and distinct styles.
Filled with breathtaking artwork - some never before seen - and cutting edge paleontology, this is a treasure trove for dinosaur enthusiasts, art lovers and budding illustrators.
