E. Guide Dinosaur (DK Google e.guides)

Provides information about dinosaurs, including when they lived, how they moved, where their fossils have been found, and how scientists have learned about them.

Gr. 7-12. Published jointly by DK and Google, this large volume in the new e.guides series is in DK's handsome, browsable format: one subject on each double-page-spread mix of text, boxed insets, gorgeous color photos, and scientists' accounts of everything from fossil sites to dinosaur anatomy. The information is highly technical, and some pages are too crammed with tiny type. The significant feature here is the book's liaison to a Web site, with keywords on each spread, linking the subject to computer animations, videos, and more. The back matter includes dinosaur profiles and brief biographies of famous paleontologists, that allow readers to access more via a computer link. Excellent for research and personal interest; the technology never drowns out the thrilling content. Others in the series include Earth, Mummy, and Space Travel. Hazel Rochman
