Reviews
"Anyone who is truly curious about the reptiles that ruled the world... will find answers to every possible question about them in the definitive Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs, compiled by two of the world's foremost dinosaur experts... Every public library and every school in America should own it, for it is the most valuable and up-to-date reference work on the intriguing subject ever published." David Perlman, Science Editor in the SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE "Currie is well known for unearthing the "feathered dinosaur" in China, and Padian has written extensively on the relationship of birds and dinosaurs. Their book features 275 original articles, heavily illustrated with photographs, paintings, drawings, and diagrams, many in color. Given the enduring interest among the general population in dinosaurs, this will prove to be a very popular reference source." --LIBRARY JOURNAL "Although this is definitely an adult reference book, libraries with young dinosaur aficionados should prick up their ears. What most recommends this densely written volume is that it brings readers straight to the facts, fresh from the scientists' mouths, instead of filtering the information through an intermediary writer." --SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL "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. SCOTT, Executive Director, National Center for Science Education, El Cerrito, California "You will be amazed as we are with this incredible accomplishment. Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs is a new 875 page volume covering all aspects of diosaurs by the experts that can tackle the subject best. A nice foreword by Michael Crichton is also inside. Articles discuss museums, specific dinosaurs and dinosaur families, famous sites, a history of paleontology, dinosaur color, feathered dinosaurs, Paleopathology, tooth replacement, and so much more. Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs is reference material and fantastic reading that no dino lover can be without." --PREHISTORIC TIMES "Written by well-known paleontologists and organized alphabetically by subject, the signed articles cover kinds of dinosaurs, biology, geology, research, and museums where dinosaurs are on display, including a worldwide list of museums and sites. Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs provides a nice link between popular and scientific dinosaurs studies." --LIBRARY JOURNAL "Highly recommended for a wide range of libraries, this invaluable
