The Artist and the Scientists: Bringing Prehistory to Life chronicles the extraordinary work of pre-eminent palaeontologists Patricia Vickers-Rich and Thomas Rich, and Peter Trusler, arguably one of Australia’s – if not the world’s – most accomplished artists of scientific realism.

Over more than thirty years Pat, Tom and Peter have travelled together, across Eastern Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa, Australia and New Zealand in search of the remains of early life, including fish, dinosaurs, birds and mammals. Their successful expeditions, and the many publications and exquisite artworks that have ensued, are reflected upon from their unique and individual perspectives, capturing both their scientific rigour and immense camaraderie.

With over 200 illustrations comprising stunning reconstruction art pieces, from preliminary sketch to finished form – many never before published, as well as photos of the sites and people involved, this book covers the last 600 million years of the geological record. The Artist and the Scientists: Bringing Prehistory to Life will appeal to a huge readership, from amateur dinosaur enthusiast, to evolutionary scientist and reconstruction artist alike.
