　　David S. Cohen got hooked on showbiz before he could read and write, when a fan letter (dictated to a thoughtful babysitter) was answered with an autographed picture of Lassie and Timmy. He worked in the business for some 30 years, including gigs as a TV writer, Off-Off-Broadway director, casting director, stage manager and stagehand, before turning to journalism as a second career. He has written for the showbiz bible, Variety, since 1997, and has most recently been a features editor, reporter and technology columnist there. Though a New Yorker at heart, he lives in Los Angeles with his wife and stepdaughter.

　　From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures' and Legendary Pictures' epic sci-fi action adventure Pacific Rim.

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are piloted by an international crew of soldiers in the Pan Pacific Defense Corps. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot and an untested trainee—team up to pilot a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger on a mission to halt the mounting apocalypse.

　　Pacific Rim: Man, Machines & Monsters chronicles the production of the film with stunning concept art, captivating photography, and cast and crew de*ions of the shoot.

　　David S. Cohen has written for Variety for over a decade writing about visual effects. He is the longtime writer of Script magazine's popular "From Script to Screen" series. His previous books include The Ballad of Rango and Screen Plays, a well-reviewed collection of his contributions to the "From Script to Screen" series. He lives in Los Angeles.

　　Guillermo del Toro is the acclaimed director of Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy, and Pacific Rim. His Strain novels are international bestsellers. He lives in Los Angeles.

　　Pacific Rim: Man, Machines, and Monsters is the art-and-making-of book for the film.
　　It's a great book. Big, hardcover, 156-pages. There are additional sticked on materials on the pages, stickers and two big posters.
　　The book is packed with amazing content. There are lots of concept art, set photography and lengthy writeup on the production. Everything's beautifully laid out.
　　The concept art consist of the characters, Jaeger robots, Kaiju monsters and film scenes. The bulk of the art, more than half the book, is on the Jaegers and Kaijus. The development art are just awesome. They are very detailed. There are Jaegers with their front and back with closeups to their heads, battle damaged versions, 3D wireframes, 3D gray models and some discarded concepts.
