Since the discovery of the first fossil remains in the early nineteenth century, dinosaurs have fueled the scientific spirit of specialists and have inspired writers, cartoonists and film directors. This book analyzes how the knowledge of dinosaurs penetrates popular culture and how a collective mythology is configured through the media. It is structured in two fundamental parts: the first analyzes the historical genesis of the myth of dinosaurs in modern societies, and the second considers the way in which the information extracted from the scientific study of dinosaurs is installed in the collective consciousness.
