What do we know about dinosaurs, and how do we know it? How did
dinosaurs grow, move, eat, and reproduce? Were they warm-blooded or
cold-blooded? How intelligent were they? How are the various groups
of dinosaurs related to each other, and to other kinds of living
and extinct vertebrates? What can the study of dinosaurs tell us
about the process of evolution? And why did typical dinosaurs
become extinct? All of these questions, and more, are addressed in
the new, expanded, second edition of The Complete Dinosaur. Written
by many of the world's leading experts on the "fearfully great"
reptiles, the book s 45 chapters cover what we have learned about
dinosaurs, from the earliest discoveries of dinosaurs to the most
recent controversies. Where scientific contention exists, the
editors have let the experts agree to disagree. Copiously
illustrated and accessible to all readers from the enthusiastic
amateur to the most learned professional paleontologist, The
Complete Dinosaur is a feast for serious dinosaur lovers
everywhere."
