The Dinosauria

David B. Weishampel (Editor), Peter Dodson (Editor), Halszka Osmólska (Editor)
"Recent years have seen an explosion of knowledge about dinosaurs. Two hitherto unknown groups have been unearthed--segnosaurs in Asia and abelisaurids in South America. Equally spectacular have been finds of north and south polar dinosaurs and the discovery of eggs, nests, embryos, and hatchlings of hadrosaurids and hypsilophodontids, vital to understanding the early life-history strategies of dinosaurs. The Dinosauria provides a definitive, state-of-the-science review of worldwide dinosaur research, including dinosaur behavior, evolution, and extinction. Twenty-three specialists on the various members of the Dinosauria, representing nine countries, contribute well-illustrated authoritative descriptions of these magnificent Mesozoic beasts"--Dust jacket
