Dinosaur Paleobiology by Stephen L Brusatte

Dinosaur Paleobiology by Stephen L Brusatte

The study of dinosaurs has been experiencing a remarkable renaissance over the past few decades. Scientific understanding of dinosaur anatomy, biology, and evolution has advanced to such a degree that paleontologists often know more about 100-million-year-old dinosaurs than many species of living organisms.

“Anyone serious about learning details of dinosaur biology would do no better than to read this bookSumming Up: Highly recommended.  Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty; general readers.”  (Choice, 1 November 2012)

“It is up-to-date, well-researched and the topics are perceptively argued or discussed, and I would unhesitatingly recommend it, as ‘start-up’ reading, to my own undergraduates and research students.”  (Geological Magazine, 2012)

"This is a reference work of wide-ranging technical expertise that reads like a good piece of science journalism. Forgive the cliché but I couldnt put it down. .....an excellent reference and a quick way to get up to speed on the fascinating and fast-evolving world of dinosaur research."
—J. Bret Bennington Priscum Vol 21, Issue1 (Winter 2014)
