Ancient Dragons of the Sky is one of the earliest comprehensive studies of pterosaurs, the dinosaurs that dominated the skies during the Mesozoic Era.
First published in 1901 as Dragons of the Air, this is a groundbreaking work by renowned palaeontologist Harry Govier Seeley. In this volume, Seeley provides detailed descriptions of various pterosaur species, from their unique skeletal structures to their adaptations for flight. His meticulous research and vivid writing bring to life these ancient creatures, exploring their anatomy, behaviour, and evolutionary significance.
Ancient Dragons of the Sky contextualises the place of pterosaurs and Seeley’s research in history, offering readers a glimpse into the scientific methods and debates of the early twentieth century. This volume remains a valuable historical resource and a seminal work in the study of ancient extinct reptiles.
