About this listen

"An insightful and informative meander through the evolution of dinosaurs and other extinct species, with a touch of personal flair.”—Steve Brusatte, professor and paleontologist at the University of Edinburgh and New York Times bestselling author of The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs

An enrapturing tale of the age of the dinosaurs, tracing their earliest origins, their astounding two-hundred-million-year reign and their infamous demise


Dinosaurs. No other class of animals captures the hearts of both children and adults alike. Paleontologist Armin Schmitt brings us a firsthand account of the latest research on dinosaurs and their lives millions of years ago, including his spectacular global excavations and fascinating discoveries in the field. With the help of cutting-edge technology and unbelievable new finds, the age-old tale of the dinosaurs is now revitalized for the very first time, complete with astonishing illustrations by Ben Rennen that help us imagine dinosaurs like never before.

Though we’re all familiar with popular dinosaurs such as the renowned Tyrannosaurus rex—every dino fan’s favorite—Schmitt answers the questions we’ve all been asking, such as:

  • What is excavating at a dig site like?
  • Why did birds survive the asteroid impact at the end of the Cretaceous, unlike the rest of the dinosaurs?
  • How has the field of paleontology changed since the Bone Wars?
  • Does climate change and its effects on the dinosaurs’ survival compare to our current climate crisis today?

The Lost World of the Dinosaurs is an all-encompassing exploration traveling back in time into the world of the primeval giants, perfect for anyone interested in the largest land creatures that ever inhabited Earth.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Strong on Birds

Neither the author or his book were known by me when I picked a copy of the shelf of a Barnes & Noble bookstore. Looking at the table of contents I spotted a complete chapter “Birds-The Last Dinosaurs” and opening to it found 19 pages devoted to the evolution of dinosaurs to our birds.

Reading a few of the 19 pages convinced me to buy and after reading a few more pages on my return home I decided to purchase the Audible version as well. Reading & listening I find increases my comprehension.

The birds can be divided into two modern groups: large, primarily flightless creatures that lay big eggs and flighted, smaller birds that are most familiar. These two categories are described well in wonderful clear writing that communicates well when read aloud too. And this reader is excellent.

I encourage any interested to search YouTube for “The Lost World of Dinosaurs: Armin Schmitt” interviewed as part of a series Under Current Stories.
