Overview


This beautifully produced and illustrated volume is the result of sophisticated scientific research. However, it has been written in clear laymen’s language for nonscientists who have serious interest in paleontology. Author Henry Gee provides naturalists’ notes on more than 50 different dinosaur species. His information is supplemented with dramatic, anatomically accurate full-color illustrations of each dinosaur. Material in this book is based on findings of dinosaur remains in North and South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Antarctica, and is divided according to time periods: Triassic, Jurassic, Early- and Mid-Cretaceous, and Late Cretaceous. At-a-glance icons convey key information about each animal, including size, taxonomy, geological period of origin, and geographical location of discovered bones. The book also presents general background information on the 180 million years of the dinosaur-dominated Mesozoic era, including details on Mesozoic plants and animals and the modern story of dinosaur discovery. More than 500

vivid illustrations are all in full color.

Editorial Reviews

Ed Sullivan
If readers miss paleontologist Gee's introduction, they might assume all the information in this impressive volume is true. As it happens, the book is a fascinating mix of fact and fiction, introducing dinosaurs from the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. The layout and design of the book are reminiscent of a field guide to birds. That's a particularly fitting comparison because one of Gee's goals is to present the fact and speculation related to the idea that birds evolved directly from dinosaurs. A brief but detailed introduction to the field of paleontology and a look at competing theories about dinosaurs are followed by profiles of dinosaur species. Accompanying the text (and frequently overwhelming it) are stunning color illustrations by a professional dinosaur artist. Rey depicts the prehistoric creatures as ferocious and birdlike, with beaks, feathers, and wings. The fascinating, attractively designed and beautifully illustrated book is sure to pique imaginations.
Booklist
From The Critics
"One thing must be made clear from the start: this is a work of fiction." Having gotten that admission out of the way at the very beginning of his text, paleontologist Gee, a senior editor at the prestigious journal Nature, goes on to explain that picturing the outsides of dinosaurs known to us only by their bones is inherently an act of imagination, but one based on scientific realities. Did dinosaurs do mating dances? Nobody knows, but many animals do, so perhaps dinos did, too. And since dinosaurs are now believed by many to be the ancestors of birds, it makes sense to imagine them in as wide a range of colors as today's avian species. Each of 56 dinosaur species is presented here through black-and-white sketches of heads and claws and other body parts, and in full-color, full-body paintings that are indeed striking for the range of colors and textures: blues and greens and reds, with speckles and stripes, scales and feathers. Rey, a leading dinosaur artist, pictures his subjects in action, climbing trees, chasing prey, baring their fearsome fangs in habitats ranging from jungle to seaside. At the end of his introduction, Gee returns to the question of veracity-the dinosaurs probably didn't look as pictured here, he admits: "they were far, far stranger." But dinophiles will enjoy this excursion into a vividly illustrated possible past world. (Mar.) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
