What was the first fossilized bone ever found? Who came up with the idea of calling them dinosaurs? How did scientists imagine them in the past? Since when are we obsessed with them? What relationship do the fossil remains of dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures have with our legends? Did you know that dinosaurs have been the protagonists of fictional stories for more than a century? And that they have even been used repeatedly as an advertising claim for decades? What do we know in the 21st century about how they really were? Francesc Gascó, paleontologist and scientific communicator specializing in dinosaurology, addresses in this work the complete history of our relationship with dinosaurs, from that crush that finding and scientifically interpreting the first fossil remains represented, to the latest discoveries just out of the oven, seasoned with myths, legends and a lot of pop culture. All of this, in one way or another, is part of our story of love and wonder with dinosaurs.
