Enjoy these graphics-rich lectures from The Great Courses, presented by Professor Kristi Curry Rogers, an enthusiastic guide to the remarkable world of dinosaurs. Learn about the diversity of dinosaur species, the fossils that reveal their world, and dinosaurs’ remarkable behavior and lifestyles. Meet other amazing animals that lived alongside the dinosaurs, from the marine and flying reptiles (often incorrectly called dinosaurs) to the profusion of strange and extraordinary birds, mammals and terrestrial reptiles that shared the dinosaurs’ ecosystems. Explore the incredible range and variety of dinosaur species and investigate the environmental disturbances that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs and other organisms in the late Cretaceous Period. Examine in depth the cutting-edge methods in paleontology that are enriching and deepening knowledge of these most extraordinary creatures, including current work on the genetics of dinosaurs and the surprising fact that birds aren’t simply descended from dinosaurs, they are dinosaurs. These lectures bring the Age of Dinosaurs to life!
