Illustrations approved by renowned palaeontologist
American palaeontologist Steve Brusatte specialises in the anatomy and evolution of dinosaurs and we worked closely with him during every draft of the illustrations to ensure absolute accuracy according to the book, while also endeavouring to include the latest discoveries in the field. Artist Vector That Fox blends realism with a dramatic theme-park-inspired palette and lush jungle backdrop across the series of colour illustrations and a striking black-and-white title page spread, while her dramatic wraparound binding design oozes tension and foreshadows danger.
Every computer graphic, graph and table from the original novel has been carefully recreated in period style and placed in situ in the narrative, while the display font has been specially sourced for its amusement park aesthetics. This edition pays homage to Michael Crichton’s game-changing novel at the turn of every page, and it is the ultimate introduction to the prescient world he created.
