Reviews

It is rare to find a book on dinosaurs so literate, well-written, and full of insight and synthesis - particularly when the dinosaurs are so unusual. The authors lay them out for us, situate them beautifully in time, space, and cultural history, and then reassemble them and their world using all the tools of modern science. The result is a tour de force. (Kevin Padian, University of California Museum of Paleontology)
