Did dinosaurs have any hair? What did a dinosaur's nest look like? How do we know what colour they were? What was the daftest mistake a palaeontologist ever made about a dinosaur fossil? Over 250 million years in the making, this book from the author of the highly successful Hieroglyphs Handbook is packed full of just about everything you ever wanted to know about dinosaurs, the fossilised clues they left behind, and the experts whose job it is to study them. The question-and-answer format makes for lively reading, and there are black and white illustrations throughout.
