Discusses dinosaur paleontology. This book presents a survey of the dinosaurs from the earliest discoveries through the contemporary controversies over their extinction. It offers information on the study and classification of dinosaurs, on each of the dinosaur groups, and on dinosaur biology and evolution.
".. stimulating armchair company for cold winter evenings ... Best of all, the book treats dinosaurs as intellectual fun. What other book asks whether Tyrannosaurus rex was warm or cold-blooded by recalling a scene from Jurassic Park and then calculating how many lawyesr it would take to feed a predator with each type of metabolism?" --New Scientist " ... a gift to serious dinosaur enthusiasts ... a highly successful volume." --Science "The book is useful both as a reference and as a browse-and-enjoy compendium ..." --Natural History "The amount of information in just 750 pages is amazing. This book should be on the shelves of dinosaur freaks as well as those who need to know more about the paleobiology of extinct animals. It will be an invaluable library reference." --American Reference Books Annual "An excellent encyclopedia that serves as a nice bridge between popular and scholarly dinosaur literature." --Library Journal "... copiously illustrated and scrupulously up-to-date ... the book reveals dinos through the fractious fields that make a study of them." --Publishers Weekly
