{"product_id":"dinotopia-a-land-apart-from-time-20th-anniversary-edition-9781606600221","title":"Dinotopia, a Land Apart from Time: 20th Anniversary Edition","description":"When James Gurney's \u003ci\u003eDinotopia: A Land Apart from Time\u003c\/i\u003e first appeared in 1992, it was immediately hailed as a fully imagined world of the caliber of J. R. R. Tolkien's. Gurney's premise -- of an undiscovered island where a race of mystical humans co-exists in harmony with intelligent dinosaurs -- has been since reiterated over and over in numerous films and by scores of other writers. Now, Calla Editions brings Gurney's spectacular artistry to a new generation in this 20th anniversary edition. Digitally re-rendered from the original transparencies, Gurney's dramatic panoramas of Dinotopia and close-up character studies of its inhabitants -- both human and saurian -- take on new vitality. And as a tale of high adventure and discovery told as entries and sketches in journal form, \u003ci\u003eDinotopia\u003c\/i\u003e presents a shipwrecked visitor's glimpse into an imagined social order, a culture, and even a cooperative interspecies technology that will satisfy lovers of fantasy and science fiction of all persuasions. This edition includes a new Afterword written by author James Gurney as well as a special section of behind-the-scenes studies and maquettes he used in developing his paintings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Gurney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Calla Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 10.80w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606600221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 9-12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore writing and illustrating \u003ci\u003eDinotopia\u003c\/i\u003e, James Gurney painted reconstructions of ancient civilizations for \u003ci\u003eNational Geographic\u003c\/i\u003e magazine.
