About this book

Language: Japanese

Currently, we are experiencing an unprecedented fossil discovery rush. Hundreds of fossils are unearthed every day around the world, and dozens of new species are discovered each year. The discovery of a new species continues to expose errors and misconceptions in our knowledge about dinosaurs. What makes modern palaeontology so exciting is the steady stream of fossil discoveries and the evolution of analytical methods. The advent of high-tech analytical equipment not only helps us study recently discovered fossils but also gives us a chance to revisit fossils discovered decades ago. Computed tomography (CT) scans can be used to scan objects thinner than a human hair, and digital rendering can reproduce the dinosaurs' more precise movements. High-tech tools and new research methods are making it possible to vividly recreate the world in which dinosaurs lived. The cause of the extinction of dinosaurs, their ecology, how they moved, how they grew, how their eggs were coloured for camouflage, etc., are being clarified one after another. This book introduces in detail the results of dinosaur research, which has ushered in a new golden age, by making full use of abundant illustrations and CG images.

Summary in Japanese:
今はまさに空前の化石発見ラッシュである。世界中で毎日のように数多くの化石が掘り出され、毎年、何十もの新種が見つかっている。
新種の発見によって、これまでの恐竜に関する知識の間違いや誤解が次々明らかになっている。現代の古生物学が刺激に満ちているのは、化石の発見が相次いでいるうえに、分析方法が進化しているからだ。
ハイテク分析装置の登場は、最近見つかった化石の調査に役立つだけでなく、何十年も前に発見された化石を見直すきっかけにもなる。コンピューター断層撮影装置(CT)で髪の毛より細いものまでスキャンしたり、デジタル・レンダリングで恐竜たちのより正確な動きを再現することが可能になる。ハイテクツールや新しい研究手法のおかげで、恐竜が生きていた世界を生き生きと再現することができるようになりつつある。恐竜絶滅の原因や、恐竜の生態、移動方法、成長の仕方、卵にカモフラージュ用の色が付いていたことなどが、次々と明らかになりつつある。
本書は、新たな黄金時代を迎えた恐竜研究の成果を、豊富なイラストやCG画像などを駆使して詳しく紹介している。
