About the Author
Dr. Lowell Dingus, a geological paleontologist, is project director for the fossil halls renovation at the American Museum of Natural History, where since 1987 he has overseen the development of exhibitions concerning vertebrate paleontology. Dr. Dingus was formerly a scientific coordinator and instructor at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. He has received several grants for field work and research, and his expeditions over the past fifteen years have ranged from the Gobi Desert badlands of Mongolia to the Hell Creek and Tullock Formations of Montana. Dr. Dingus is a frequent lecturer and has authored or co-authored several children's books, including What Color is that Dinosaur: Questions, Answers, and Mysteries (Millbrook Press, 1994), and Discovering Dinosaurs (Knopf, 1995), which won a Scientific American Young Reader's Award.
From Library Journal
This beautiful, oversized book serves as a guide not only to the Halls of Vertebrate Evolution at the American Museum of Natural History but also to vertebrate evolution generally. Unlike Mark Norell's Discovering Dinosaurs (LJ 6/15/95), which focused strictly on those beasts, geological paleontologist Dingus uses the recent large-scale renovation of the fossil halls (he was project director) to illustrate principles of vertebrate evolution and paleontology, as well as the nature of the work involved in creating museum exhibits. The text is conversational and up-to-date and the photographs and illustrations copious and superb. Highly recommended for general collections.?Jeanne Davidson, Oregon State Univ., Corvallis
