Dinosaurs: The Most Complete, Up-to-Date Encyclopedia for Dinosaur Lovers of All Ages

Don't be put off by it's "all ages" presentation. This book is a fantastic resource for anyone who is serious about learning dinosaur evoltuion and what really makes a dinosaur a dinosaur as opposed to a pterosaur, or a plesiosaur (which aren't dinosaurs at all).Lavishly illustrated, it covers every phylogenetic dinosaur group with a history of paleontology and natural history in general thrown in aswell as extinction, a coverage of the mesozoic period and the dinos eventual extinction (except the birds that is). Though at times the writing style may comes across as being aimed at children (which it partly is) the information is all very scientific and will rarely leave the reader wanting. However if you're after hard anatomical study then it's probably not technical enough for you.I bought this to reinvograte a childhood obsession and what I've come away with after reading it is a renewed wonderment and appreciation of these bizarre and wonderful animals and the birds who continue their legacy.

This is a very good book, that explains what paleontologists know about dinosaurs and how they know it. Dinosaurs are sorted according to their genetic tree, and the book explains their life style of the dinosaurs in the different families. For example an entire chapter is dedicated to Tyrannosauroids and another to Deinonychosaurs.These chapters would explain what niche these particular dinosaurs filled out, their life stages and so on.It is written in a very fluent language, that makes reading it very easy. Every now and then there is a page with a small essay about a particular dinosaur. Fx eating habits of an allosaurus or something like that.

As a novice it's a wonderful book to learn about the Dinosaurs

I was recommended this book, and it is certainly unique ! It gives a thorough introduction, but easy to understand, with gorgeous illustrations, and lots of additional expert articles. Again and again it makes difficult subjects obvious. For instance "....the Atlantic ocean gets wider at about the rate your fingernails grow!"The perfect book for anybody who wants to know about dinosaurs :-D
