From Library Journal

Here, at last, is an authoritative, scholarly review of current dinosaur research. International experts wrote the individual chapters and, although the style is very technical, there is a lot here for interested amateurs. The first short section describes dinosaur biology, relationships, and distribution. It features, among other things, an interesting discussion of the recent dinosaur controversies (comet-related extinctions, warm-bloodedness, etc.) and a list (with maps) of worldwide dinosaur sites. The second section is a detailed dinosaur taxonomy that tends toward involved descriptions of bones, but it also has good information about the discovery and paleoecology of the different groups. The excellent bibliography, containing more than 2500 entries, will be especially useful for those who want more than just popular accounts of dinosaurs. Highly recommended for academic and large public libraries.- Amy Brunvand, Fort Lewis Coll. Lib., Durango, Col.Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Review

"An historically unparalleled compendium of information and well thought out interpretations of the dinosaur fossil record. . . . Will set the standard and stimulate new work for years to come." -- Kevin Padian, Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology"Should become the reference work of choice for paleontologists in the field, students of natural history and lay people whose interest in dinosaurs runs deeper than a nodding acquaintance with the museum tyrannosaur. . . . The book succeeds admirably." -- John Noble Wilford, New York Times Book Review"The first freewheeling collaboration between specialists in the Eastern Bloc, China and the West. . . . No other work has every single scaled, plated, horned and fanged player lined up for inspection." -- Milo Miles, LA Weekly
