Professor Denison, the intrepid 19th-century explorer, is back! Some time ago, the professor discovered a lost island where humans and dinosaurs dwell in harmony. Now the professor and Bix, his dinosaur companion, are ready to set off on a perilous journey to the forbidden empire of Chandara. Every step of the way is documented with the striking art for which author/illustrator James Gurney is justly famed: magnificent full-colour images of people, animals, and locations, complemented by cutaway views and mechanical diagrams. This lavish hardcover edition is a stand-alone sequel to the first two Dinotopia books and a splendid introduction to the series for readers of all ages. Dover's new, expanded edition includes a behind-the-scenes featurette filled with rare insights from Gurney himself. AGES: 12 and up AUTHOR: Before writing and illustrating Dinotopia, James Gurney painted reconstructions of ancient civilizations for National Geographic magazine. He has illustrated seventeen stamps for the U.S. Postal Service, including The World of Dinosaurs. His Dinotopia artwork has won the Hugo, Chesley, Spectrum, and World Fantasy Awards and has been exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution, the Norman Rockwell Museum, and the Delaware Art Museum.
