Hans-Dieter Sues is a senior scientist and curator of fossil vertebrates at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. He is the coauthor of Triassic Life on Land: The Great Transition.
This volume is the most complete and current compendiumon reptilian evolution and diversity to date... Few (if any) are better suited to have written this volume than Sues. His impressive research record over the past 40 years has dealt directly with many of the taxonomic groups in this volume, including (nonreptile) synapsids, parareptiles, sauropterygians, crocodylomorphs, and dinosaurs. --Jeremy B. Stout Quarterly Review of Biology The writing style is clear and easy, the illustrations are excellent, and the whole design and print quality highly attractive. There is no other book like it, and this will stand as a useful reference for many years. --Michael J. Benton, University of Bristol The Herpetological Bulletin
