Synopsis
Reconstructing the lives and anatomy of dinosaurs is an exciting and puzzling business. Dinosaurs - literally "terrible lizards" - dominated the Earth for 140 million years, and our visions of what each kind looked like and how they lived and evolved are changing as new fossils are found all over the world. This book reveals fascinating details and peculiarities of the dinosaurs themselves, and also of how the scientists find and piece together clues to their existence. Important arguments, such as why dinosaurs disappeared, and whether or not they were warm-blooded creatures, are discussed from all sides. A glossary translates the names of many of the most famous dinosaurs, and a pronunciation guide is included to make sure even the longest dinosaur name comes out right. This is a remarkable book for the dinosaur enthusiast.
