The Scientific American Book of Dinosaurs
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Bigger than a brontosaurus, more cutting-edge than a T-rex's tooth-The Scientific American Book of Dinosaurs is the book for le-gions of dino-lovers everywhere. New and classic essays by some of the most respected names in paleontology grace its pages: Robert Bakker illustrates the new and unprecedented wave of dinosaur discoveries around the world, while David J. Var-ricchio discusses the familial relationships of dinosaurs. Walter Alvarez and Vincent Courtillot debate their theories of mass extinc-tion, and Ken Carpenter describes the latest techno-logies and basic techniques of excavating fossils. Together, they provide a de-tailed impression of what life was like for the thunder lizards: what they looked like, how they acted and interacted, what they ate, where they lived, and how they died. With a sharp, ac-cess-ible design and loads of illustrations, this book is truly something to roar about.
