Geared towards a broad variety of students, Dinosaurs: The
Textbook, sixth edition, is a concise and lucid presentation of the
biological and geological concepts of dinosaur science. It
clarifies the evolution, phylogeny, and classification of the
various species while modeling the best approach for navigating new
and existing research. Revised to reflect recent fossil discoveries
and the current consensus on dinosaur science, this text moves
through the major taxonomic groups-including theropods,
sauropodomorphs, ornithopods, ceratopsians, pachycephalosaurs,
stegosaurs, and ankylosaurs-and concludes with updated chapters on
the behavior and extinction of the dinosaurs, their biological
relationship to birds, and their representation (or
misrepresentation) in art, literature, film, and other forms of
popular culture. The sixth edition represents a major revision of
the leading text for an introductory course on dinosaurs, including
comprehensive updates based on the latest scientific discoveries,
research, and literature. With an extensive art program revised by
leading paleoartists that features cutting-edge illustrations, it
is a complete reader-friendly pedagogical package with extensive
end-of-chapter summary tools, review questions, a detailed
glossary, a dinosaur dictionary, and a comprehensive index. Please
