A new edition of the illustrated compendium that is "a gift to serious dinosaur enthusiasts" (
Science).
What do we know about dinosaurs, and how do we know it? How did they grow, move, eat, and reproduce? Were they warm-blooded or cold-blooded? How intelligent were they? How are the various groups of dinosaurs related to each other, and to other kinds of living and extinct vertebrates? What can the study of dinosaurs tell us about the process of evolution? And why did typical dinosaurs become extinct?
These questions and more are addressed in this new, expanded edition of
The Complete Dinosaur. Written by leading experts on the "fearfully great" reptiles, the book covers what we have learned about dinosaurs, from the earliest discoveries to the most recent controversies. Where scientific contention exists, the editors have let the experts agree to disagree.
The Complete Dinosaur is a feast for serious dinosaur lovers, from the enthusiastic amateur to the professional paleontologist.
Praise for the first edition:
"An excellent encyclopedia that serves as a nice bridge between popular and scholarly dinosaur literature." -
Library Journal (starred review)
"Stimulating armchair company for cold winter evenings.... Best of all, the book treats dinosaurs as intellectual fun." -
New Scientist
"Useful both as a reference and as a browse-and-enjoy compendium." -
Natural History
"Copiously illustrated and scrupulously up-to-date." -
Publishers Weekly
"The amount of information in [these] pages is amazing. This book should be on the shelves of dinosaur freaks as well as those who need to know more about the paleobiology of extinct animals. It will be an invaluable library reference." -American Reference Books Annual
