An essential purchase, this is a comprehensive and up-to-date scholarly encyclopedia on dinosaurs and dinosaur science, the most detailed reference of its kind ever produced. In addition to entries for specific animals - such as the Triceratops, T-rex, etc - special topics covered include reproduction, behaviour, physiology, and extinction. Wonderfully illustrated throughout.
`The Encyclopedia not only embraces the very latest research, but it also includes copious entries on fossil sites, geological periods and formations, dinosaur discoveries, collections, paleontologists, methodology, and much, much more - all profusely illustrated. No topic in science generates more interest than dinosaurs, and this volume is an absolutely essential addition to any public library, educational institution, or museum. I can't imagine anyone with an interest in dinosaurs - laymen, student or scientist - not wanting to own this magnificent book'. - Douglas Preston, author of Dinosaurs in the Attic and Relic.
