Tracking Dinosaurs is the first non-technical, popular science book
on dinosaur footprints and what they reveal about dinosaurs and
their habitats. Billions of dinosaur tracks have been found in
recent years and through careful examination of these prehistoric
clues, dinosaur trackers have discovered much about how and where
dinosaurs lived. This book deals with this landslide of new
information that has accumulated in recent decades, demonstrating
that fossil footprints are neither rare nor insignificant as
previously supposed. A complete guide to dinosaur tracking, the
book begins with a discussion of the meaning of tracks, how tracks
provide information about dinosaur locomotion, behaviour, ecology
and environmental impact. The accessible writing style and numerous
illustrations, including eight pages of colour photographs, make
this book appropriate for all people with a general interest in
science and natural history.
