About the Author
Dale A. Russell is Curator of Fossil Vertebrates and Dinosaurs at the National Museum of Natural Sciences, Ottawa.
From Library Journal
Unlike comprehensive catalogs such as The Macmillan Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs ( LJ 2/15/89), this is a semi-technical review of the ecology and social dynamics of selected dinosaurs, especially as represented in North American fossil sites. Illustrations include photographs of these sites and paintings of dinosaurs. Paleontologist Russell's thrilling word-pictures of ancient scenes such as forests of tilted trees are the strength of this book. He supports the cometary-impact theory of dinosaur extinction, concluding that dinosaurs might still exist had this event not occurred. Others interpret geological evidence differently, but everyone can agree on the diversity and appeal of dinosaurs as depicted in this book. For subject and larger general collections.
