Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The latest in a string of great, well-priced books from Wordsworth Reference, the _Book of Dinosaurs_ is a well-edited little gem covering just about everything the non-specialist reader might want to know about dinosaurs. Written by David Lambert with the assistance of a battery of professors, PhDs and museum staff, it has chapters covering what the dinosaurs were, biologically speaking; how they evolved; what their habitat was like; and how fossils are created, discovered, interpreted and displayed. All of these are engrossing enough on their own, but the heart of the book, taking up almost half of the pages, is a section called 'Dinosaurs Identified' - a meticulous catalogue of all known dinosaur families and their genera. Like the rest of the book, it's generously illustrated with black-and-white pictures that are clean and elegant. Perfect for reading from cover to cover, paging through in the bathroom, or pulling down from the shelf to settle arguments (assuming you and your friends are as nerdy as me and mine).
