Dinosaurs by Thomas R Holtz Jnr
An award-winning encyclopedia written for young people but perfect for all ages, written to help everyone understand and appreciate the mind-blowing variety of dinosaurs—packed with museum-quality illustrations and dubbed “the dinosaur bible” by fans! “Anyone with even a passing interest in dinosaurs should not miss this journey into their diverse and strange world.”—Science Written by one of the world’s foremost experts on dinosaurs, this award-winning title—honored by the National Science Teachers Association and the American Association for the Advancement of Science—is an essential addition to any dinophile’s library, regardless of age! Using casual language aimed at non-scientists, it’s a guide to all aspects of dinosaur science: how we figure out what dinosaurs looked like, how they lived, how they evolved, how they continue to live among us as birds, and much, much more. Dinosaurs includes: • brief entries on all 800+ “named” species of Mesozoic dinosaurs • sidebars by world-famous paleontologists including Robert T. Bakker, Jack Horner, Mark Norell, Scott Sampson, and Philip Currie • 428 pages of lavish illustrations • supplemental chapter updates in the form of an exhaustive website maintained by the author • a spectacular poster printed on the inside of the jacket Perfect for children who are interested in dinosaurs (and adults who are still inquisitive kids at heart), Dinosaurs will educate and entertain for many, many hours!
