Review by Booklist Review

From superlative statistics on dinosaur species to techniques for examining fossil records, this attractively designed volume makes for an exhaustive resource on all things paleontological. Photographs, graphics, illustrations, and big bold text all share space on two-page spreads that each have a distinct theme, such as how dinosaurs brought up their young, similarities in locomotion, or what scientists theorize about their brainpower. Though the subject of dinosaurs is a common one, this book emphasizes looking at dinosaurs in new ways, such as drawing parallels between adaptive characteristics of disparate species and discussing dispelled myths about prehistoric creatures. Exactly how and why theories about dinosaurs are created and how they change over time as new evidence surfaces is discussed in depth. Considering the breadth of scope, this appealing book can be appreciated by the dinosaur expert and novice alike.--Anderson, Erin Copyright 2014 Booklist
