Pressestimmen
"Handsomely illustrated by 167 photos and maps, some in color, this volume takes us into a new world of dinosaurs. . . . The authors discuss the evolutionary relationships of dinosaurs and list a phylogenetic classification, which includes modern birds. A section of questions and answers ranging in topic from such physical characteristics as size, skin and teeth to preparation and assembly of specimens prepares us for the exhibits that follow. Here are descriptions of 41 dinosaurs, plus their tracks and eggs. The final section describes five museum expeditions."--"Publishers Weekly"
Kurzbeschreibung
"Expanded and updated"
This handsome book addresses the questions of what the fossil record tells us about the evolution and extinction of dinosaurs, what their relationship to the rest of the organic world was, and what we can learn from them about our own place in the history of life on our planet. This edition has been updated throughout, with a new final chapter that details exciting recent discoveries such as the feathered dinosaur fossils in China.
ALERT: ONE LINE IS MISSING FROM PAGE XIII OF THIS BOOK. THE COMPLETE LINE SHOULD READ:
"We hope that the following pages will introduce you to some of these questions."
This error will be corrected in future editions of the book.

One of the better pop-dinosaur books I've seen
31. Juli 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
I thoroughly enjoyed the hardcover edition of this book. I haven't seen the paperback, but I thought it would be useful to cross-reference to the hardback, since Amazon didn't: Discovering Dinosaurs: in the American Museum of Natural History
The review there is close to my own reaction: this is a first-rate book. And it's available for all of $4 used. The book is a bit out-of-date -- it was published in 1995. Unless you're a specialist, you'll be fine with this book. The bones don't change, and the American Museum of Natural History still has the planet's best dinosaur collection. Handsomely produced, well-illustrated and well-written. Go for it!
Happy reading--

What do we really know about dinosaurs?
8. Juli 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
After visiting the National Musuem of Natural History, I wondered about many of the claims that the museum made. So I decided to read a book about the "terrible lizards" and found out what I had guessed -- the study of dinosaurs and their fossils is not an exact science and many of the fundamental questions we have about them cannot be answered, including:
How old are they? How fast were they? How big were they? What did they look like? What color were they? What is their relation to birds? How are fossils aged? Do we have any dinosaur DNA?
The authors of this book do a good job at trying to answer many of these questions about dinosaurs, but in the end their explanations merely lay out the science of guesswork. The first part of this book is fifty questions about dinosaurs, and I would recommend this section to anyone interested in the subject. The next two sections are about dinosaurs digs and specific dinosaur species, and is a little bit extensive for the "casual dino reader."
