About the Book

An award-winning encyclopedia written for young people but perfect for all ages, written to help everyone understand and appreciate the mind-blowing variety of dinosaurs—packed with museum-quality illustrations and dubbed “the dinosaur bible” by fans! “Anyone with even a passing interest in dinosaurs should not miss this journey into their diverse and strange world.”—Science   Written by one of the world’s foremost experts on dinosaurs, this award-winning title—honored by the National Science Teachers Association and the American Association for the Advancement of Science—is an essential addition to any dinophile’s library, regardless of age! Using casual language aimed at non-scientists, it’s a guide to all aspects of dinosaur science: how we figure out what dinosaurs looked like, how they lived, how they evolved, how they continue to live among us as birds, and much, much more.    Dinosaurs includes: • brief entries on all 800+ “named” species of Mesozoic dinosaurs • sidebars by world-famous paleontologists including Robert T. Bakker, Jack Horner, Mark Norell, Scott Sampson, and Philip Currie • 428 pages of lavish illustrations • supplemental chapter updates in the form of an exhaustive website maintained by the author • a spectacular poster printed on the inside of the jacket   Perfect for children who are interested in dinosaurs (and adults who are still inquisitive kids at heart), Dinosaurs will educate and entertain for many, many hours!

Review :
“Anyone with even a passing interest in dinosaurs should not miss this journey into their diverse and strange world. Holtz and his colleagues fill the book with fascinating details ranging from discoveries of new species (e.g., a sauropod, Amphicoelias, with a mass of 18 elephants) to old favorites (e.g., Tyrannosaurus rex, which may have lived and hunted in packs). They cover major and minor groups, predator-prey relations, social interactions within species, habitats and habits, and evolutionary trends. With its conversational tone and Rey’s engaging illustrations, the book should appeal to young adults and a general audience alike.”—Science “This eye-catching imagination grabber will be enjoyed (on different levels) by dinophiles of all ages.”—School Library Journal (starred review) “A rich and informative treatment of everything related to dinosaurs . . . Even the higher-level concepts are presented remarkably clearly.”—Horn Book Review “Truly sets a standard for reference material.”—Prehistoric Times “Beautifully written and illustrated . . . valuable in the middle through secondary classrooms.”—National Science Teachers Association “Encyclopaedic in scope and exceeds all expectations. A superior book the young dinosaur lover in your life will cherish.”—January Magazine “Would work beautifully as a gift for a paleontology-minded preteen . . . or any adults.”—Wordcandy “An outstanding resource . . . Dinosaur fans seeking exhaustive information . . . need look no farther than Holtz’s scientifically oriented but accessible account.”—Publishers Weekly “I am holding a treasure . . . This is a book that should have pride of place on any bookshelf.”—Roger Smith, publisher, Dinosaurnews Online “This is the most comprehensive, up-to-date dinosaur book for enthusiasts of all ages, professional or non-professional in experience.”—Dino Russ's Lair
