"This book feels like a field guide come to life. The illustrations of dinosaurs are really beautiful and sometimes a little scary. Children of all ages will have to remind themselves that these are reconstructions of a vibrant extinct world-not scenes painted from life today. The text shows whimsy and fun. The author's enthusiasm comes across on every page." --Julia Clarke, J. A. Wilson Professor in Vertebrate Paleontology, Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of Texas at Austin The sea-with its unknowable depths, its far-reaching horizons, and its sparkling surface-holds some in fascination, others in fear. But one thing can't be denied by either beholder of the water: it is home to an array of species we can't even begin to know the extent of. But as for the underwater creatures of the past, who have been extinct for millions of years, we can make an attempt at learning all of them. With The Secrets of Ancient Sea Monsters, you can explore the depths of waters you never knew of, and the aquatic reptiles that ruled that murky world below sea-level. These creatures couldn't be matched, and they are waiting for you to discover all there is to know about their lives!

Mr. ZHAO Chuang, a scientific artist, and Ms. YANG Yang, an author of scientific children's books, started working together when they jointly founded PNSO, an organization devoted to the research and creation of scientific art in Beijing on June 1st, 2010. A few months later, they launched Scientific Art Projects Plan: Stories on Earth (2010-2070). The plan uses scientific art to create a captivating, historically accurate narrative. These narratives are based on the latest scientific research, focusing on the complex relationships between species, natural environments, communities, and cultures. The narratives consider the perspectives of human civilizations while exploring Earth's past, present, and future. The PNSO founders plan to spend 60 years to do research and create unique and engaging scientific art and literature for people around the world. They hope to share scientific knowledge through publications, exhibitions
