I think this may be the prettiest book we've done yet. We have several other interesting titles in the works, many of them dinosaur-related. This is more a reference work than light bedtime reading. Al describes the characteristic features of known genera and species, and reproduces dozens of drawings of fossil specimens. In addition, there are beautiful color photos of living representatives of the various groups.
Information is presented both systematically, and by locality.
Al ends by discussing snake faunas over time.
