The answers to these questions and hundreds more are to be found in the pages of The Complete Dinosaur, an exuberant celebration of dinosaurs and of our ongoing fascination with them. This book is the single most authoritative and accessible source on dinosaur science today for the general reader. In the past decade, dinosaur paleontology has experienced an explosive growth. So rapidly has the field expanded that no individual can hope to master all its aspects. The editors have brought together 47 experts in subjects ranging from functional morphology and paleobiology to biogeography and systematics to present a thorough survey of dinosaurs from the earliest discoveries through the contemporary controversies over their extinction.
Technical jargon is kept to a minimum, and there is a glossary of unfamiliar terms.
