Scientific American
"Plenty of fine pictures of fossils, tracks, casts, and older graphics fill the well-written, well-designed volume. . . . The authors, three New York paleontologists, offer fresh, compelling arguments that dinosaurs include both Tyrannosaurus rex and modern birds. Birds retained dinosaur forelimb structures, but at last they invented feathers. Our ostriches and canaries are the last dinosaurs."
Book Description
Expanded and updated This handsome book addresses the questions of what the fossil record tells us about the evolution and extinction of dinosaurs, what their relationship to the rest of the organic world was, and what we can learn from them about our own place in the history of life on our planet. This edition has been updated throughout, with a new final chapter that details exciting recent discoveries such as the feathered dinosaur fossils in China.
