NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION This comprehensive and up-to-date scholarly encyclopedia on dinosaurs and dinosaur science includes detailed illustrations, in-depth references, thorough cross-references, and exhaustive documentation. It is THE essential reference work for advanced students and researchers. GENERAL DESCRIPTION 'The Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs is quite possibly the most valuable and comprehensive volume ever published on dinosaurs, and it is sure to become the reference work in the field. Edited by two of the world's foremost dinosaur experts, it includes hundreds of contributions from virtually every luminary in the field. The Encyclopedia not only embraces the very latest research, but it also includes copious entries on fossil sites, geological periods and formations, dinosaur discoveries, collections, paleontologists, methodology, and much, much more--all profusely illustrated. No topic in science generates more interest than dinosaurs, and this volume is an absolutely essential addition to any public library, educational institution, or museum. I can't imagine anyone with an interest in dinosaurs--laymen, student, or scientist--not wanting to own this magnificent book.' --Douglas Preston, Author of 'Dinosaurs in the Attic' and 'Relic' 'Here's the 'Who's Who' and 'What's What' about dinosaurs that we've been waiting for, An easy-to-get-around-in definitive compilation of general information about fossils, the theory, the scientists, the history--just about everything you'd like to know about--written by the finest scholars in the field. On top of the superb (and heavily cross-referenced) text, the Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs is wonderfully and profusely illustrated. I know I'm going to get a lot of use out of this book, and so would any teacher or parent with a dinosaur-nutty kid. (I think that's all of us...)' --Eugenie C.
