The complete idiot's guide to dinosaurs

The complete idiot's guide to dinosaurs Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

With the blockbuster film Jurassic Park: The Lost World heading to video and Godzilla on its way to the big screen, here's the ideal dinosaur book for kids and adults. With up-to-date, non-technical insights into the many different species of dinosaurs — including recent discoveries, such as Amargasaurus and Bellusaurus — and details on their physical characteristics, eating habits, and reproductive systems, this fascinating book also takes readers into the realities of DNA testing, cloning, and theories of extinction. The last part explores how the dinosaur has been portrayed in movies, books, and comics.

In this Complete Idiot's Guide, you'll find:
