An illuminating and entertaining collection of dinosaur facts, from
A to Z Dinopedia is an illustrated, pocket-friendly encyclopedia of
all things dinosaurian. Featuring dozens of entries on topics
ranging from hadrosaur nesting colonies to modern fossil hunters
and paleontologists such as Halszka Osmolska and Paul Sereno, this
amazing A-Z compendium is brimming with facts about these
thrilling, complex, and sophisticated animals. Almost everything we
know about dinosaurs has changed in recent decades. A scientific
revolution, kick-started in the late 1960s by astounding new
discoveries and a succession of new ideas, has shown that these
magnificent creatures were marvels of evolution that surpassed
modern reptiles and mammals in size, athletic abilities, and more.
Darren Naish sheds invaluable light on our current, fast-changing
understanding of dinosaur diversity and evolutionary history, and
discusses the cultural impacts of dinosaurs through books,
magazines, and movies. Naish also shows how our emerging view of
these animals is very much a human story about ambition and
competing egos, revealing that controversy and disagreement are
commonplace in the vigorous field of dinosaur studies. With a
wealth of original illustrations by the author, Dinopedia is an
informative and entertaining collection of lore for the dinosaur
lover in all of us. Features a real cloth cover with an elaborate
foil-stamped design
