This is a dinosaur book for geeks. It's a lively, fascinating, and laugh-out-loud funny book for those of us who never outgrew our interest in these magnificent creatures. The A to Z of Dinosaurs, part of the A to Z Essential Guides,

will delve into the world of the ""terrible lizards"" to indulge our search for knowledge, whether it's about an antorbital fenestra or a Zuul crurivastator.

Written by a passionate enthusiast with a historian's eye for detail, this book bridges the gap between simplistic picture books for toddlers and dense academic texts for graduate students. The A to Z of Dinosaurs covers what we want to know about dinosaurs in an accessible, engaging style. Topics like:

What makes a dinosaur a dinosaur? Were dinosaurs cold-blooded or warm-blooded? Could dinosaurs see in color? Was Godzilla a dinosaur? Why do old paintings show dinosaurs dragging their tails? What was the ""dinner in a dinosaur""? What really caused them to become extinct?

And, most importantly ... How do we know?

Prepare to examine evidence, debunk myths, and bring the latest discoveries to life. Whether you're a long-time dino fan or a newcomer to the study of paleontology, this book promises to satisfy your curiosity. (55,000 words/92 photos).
