Customer Reviews

Highly recommended

There isn't too much to say, except that this is a great book. The artistic depictions are by turns evocative and poignant (Who can look at the pair of emaciated Apatosaurs without wincing?), and the text is well-written, occasionally poetic, even. However, I can't quite recommend it for beginners; the book's general focus is actually more on paleoecology and geology than dinosaurs proper, which may make it slow-going for neophytes. Nevertheless, for people who consider themselves to be at the intermediate level and up, I think it's a great choice.
