Publisher's Summary
A tale of some of the most amazing creatures ever to grace this tiny planet - unearth how the science fiction of the Jurassic World franchise inspired the evolution of dinosaur science.
It all began in 1993. Jurassic Park was a movie landmark in the development of computer-generated imagery and animatronic visual effects. Jurassic Park became the highest-grossing movie of that year, and the highest-grossing film ever at the time, a record held until the 1997 release of Titanic. The field of dinosaur science has blossomed by leaps and bounds and branched out in recent years, in no small part to this iconic movie series.
In The Science of Jurassic World, we experience the amazing story of the birth of the dinosaurs, how they evolved to world dominance, how some became gargantuan in size, how others grew wings and flew, and how the rest of them met an untimely end. Chapters include:
- How did Jurassic Park transform dinosaur science?
- Was Dr. Alan Grant’s job a walk in the park?
- What’s with the giant dinosaur poop?
- When will we clone dinosaurs?
And so much more!
Discover how some of cinema’s most incredible creations do justice to the jaw-dropping evolution of these fantastic creatures.
Editorial Review
Is it possible to clone dino DNA? Is a T-Rex’s vision really based on movement? Did a Dilophosaurus spit venom before attacking? How big was a Velociraptor? The Jurassic Park movie series has been a box office phenomenon that changed the game, and this fascinating audiobook from Mark Brake and Jon Chase looks into the facts behind the fiction. Dinos are awesome, but the truth is often even weirder than fans realize. Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern, and the rest might have helped bring dinos into the movie theatre, but these incredible creatures used to run the show.
From Steven Spielberg‘s original Jurassic Park film in 1993 to Jurassic World Dominion in 2022, the Jurassic Park movie franchise (the recent screenplays of which have been written by Colin Trevorrow) has introduced the magic of dinosaurs to a new era of dino fanatics. Characters like Dr. Alan Grant, Ian Malcolm, and Ellie Sattler have become synonymous with the study of dinosaurs. The Science of Jurassic World is a must-listen for veteran viewers and first-time fans of the Jurassic Park franchise.
Brilliantly narrated by David Doersch, The Science of Jurassic World pulls back the curtain on what the dinos were really like, separating dinosaur facts from fiction without dulling any of the mystique created by the films. Hear about real-world dinosaur DNA discoveries from paleontologists to facts about the Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops that feature in the cult films. Strap in for a wild ride because The Science of Jurassic World is a thrilling listen.
