exhaustive, up-to-date book contains more than 2,000 entries about
dinosaurs and dinosaur-related topics. It provides not only
detailed information about their discovery, underlying science, and
recent technologies and theories but also encompasses all of the

as "proof" for both evolutionists and creationists to substantiate
their claims about life's origins, and as cultural artifacts.

entertaining timeline of how dinosaurs have appeared in science,
religion, and society since they were discovered in the 1800s,
