A stunningly illustrated guide to these extraordinary creatures from a world-renowned paleontologist. Paleobiology has advanced from a speculative subject to a cutting-edge science. Today, researchers are applying the latest forensic technologies to the fossil record, revealing startling new insights into the lives of dinosaurs. This illustrated guide explores the behaviour, evolution, physiology and extinction of dinosaurs, taking readers inside the mysterious world of these marvellous animals.
