Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

WRITTEN BY A PROFESSIONAL paleontologist specifically for young readers, this guide to the Dinosauria is packed with enough detail and

insider information to satisfy even die-hard dinophiles! The text includes brief entries on all 800+ "named" species of Mesozoic dinosaurs, as well as chapters on the history of dinosaur discoveries, the science of dinosaur art, dinosaur biology, and much more. With sidebars by 33 world-famous paleontologists, museum-quality illustrations, and over 20 never-beforeseen restorations of new dinosaur species, this is a must-have compendium of fact and fandom that dino enthusiasts of all ages will devour with glee!

Book News Annotation:

The 800-plus dinosaurs mentioned in this non-alphabetical encyclopedia appropriate for all ages are discussed according to which of 24 classes (e.g. spinosauroids) they belong to, with illustrations of noteworthy species. Entries also cover other topics in dinosaur science including evolution, taxonomy, representations in art, origins, and extinction. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
