Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
The Dinosauria form a well-defined group within the Archosauria and, with birds included within Dinosauria (as they must be on cladistic grounds), the group is clearly one of great significance among terrestrial vertebrates. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars A professional reference book, 10 Aug 1998
By A Customer
This work was a bit tedious, as any book of this magnitude can be, especially to someone without a PHD, like me. If, however you are aspiring for that PHD, or are a very serious amateur paleontologist, this book is great. It is the most in-depth book I have ever found on the subject. Most books are significantly watered down, as their intended audience is often teenage or younger. This book supplies enormous quantities of information in a fairly usable format. I just wished that there had been more illustrations, perhaps some pictures of different excavation sites and more actual fossil examples, instead of mere drawings. Perhaps this was done for cost effectiveness, as this book is very expensive for someone on a budget. The bone anatomy is very well shown though, and can be studied with the help of this book. I would recommend it for anyone who is serious about paleontology, but please, if you are not, check out another book, as this one may be a dissapointment with a! big price tag.

5.0 out of 5 stars A detailed and excellent account of Dinosaurs, 15 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This is not a picture book to leave on the coffee table. Rather it is a serious study of Dinosaurs by expert authors.The anatomical details and illustrations are superb and would be of use in the field. It is too detailed for a casual reader but is an excellent text fot the enthusiast or profesional. It is without doubt the most comprehensive dinosaur book available.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hardcore Systematics, 19 Nov 2004
This review is from: The Dinosauria (Hardcover)
Not a casual read, but rather a complete and comprehensive discription of the class, covering phylogenetics, distribution and the systematics and anatomy of all clades.

An excellent and essentual reference volume for all serious dinosaur workers.
