Dinosaurs: The Most Complete, Up-to-Date Encyclopedia for Dinosaur Lovers of All Ages | |
The one book every dinosaur fan needs!
Written by one of the world’s foremost experts on dinosaurs, this award-winning title—honored by the NSTA and the AAAS—is an essential addition to any dinophile’s library, regardless of age! Using casual language aimed at young people and non-scientists, it's a guide to all aspects of dinosaur science: how we figure out what dinosaurs looked like, how they lived, how they evolved, how they continue to live among us as birds, and much, much more.
It also includes brief entries on all 800+ "named" species of Mesozoic dinosaurs, as well as sidebars by 33 world-famous paleontologists—among them Robert T. Bakker, Jack Horner, Mark Norell, Scott Sampson, and Philip Currie. With 428-pages of lavish, museum-quality illustrations, and an exhaustive Web site maintained by the author of supplemental chapter updates, this the perfect gift that will educate AND entertain for many, many, MANY hours! (And if that isn’t enough, the jacket has a spectacular poster printed on the inside.)
“Written in a casual language both young and adult paleo-nerds will find readable and enjoyable, this volume is seen as the "Dinosaur Bible" by many enthusiasts of the subject, for its sheer completeness and scienciness.” —tvtropes.org

Anyone with even a passing interest in dinosaurs should not miss this journey into their diverse and strange world. Holtz and his colleagues fill the book with fascinating details ranging from discoveries of new species (e.g., a sauropod, Amphicoelias, with a mass of 18 elephants) to old favorites (e.g., Tyrannosaurus rex, which may have lived and hunted in packs). They cover major and minor groups, predator-prey relations, social interactions within species, habitats and habits, and evolutionary trends. With its conversational tone and Rey's engaging illustrations, the book should appeal to young adults and a general audience alike. --Science, December 5, 2008
Dr. Thomas R. Holtz, Jr. is one of the world's leading experts on carnivorous dinosaurs. He lives in Clinton, Maryland.
Luis V. Rey is one of the most highly respected dinosaur artists working today. He lives in London, England.

书是硬皮封面，很厚重，印刷很好，很有“可以珍藏的百科书”的感觉。真的很大的一本书！
喜歡。只說缺點：字體比想像中大；插圖多為手工漫畫風格，而非電腦構圖，較粗糙。
通篇文字，图片极少，是专业人员必买的书籍，为了看图片的还是不要买了。
很不错的一本书,喜欢的就不要犹豫了
This is a terrific book that deserves all the positive reviews. My son has many dinosaur books, but when we saw this in the reading room at the CA Academy of Sciences he fell in love with it instantly. After seeing all the positive reviews I tracked down a copy on Amazon. Glad I did. The beauty of this book is that there is something interesting and appealing for everyone, no matter what your level of interest is in dinos. Young readers, teen readers, college students, adults.........hard to find a book that anybody can pick up and enjoy. The text is well written and interesting, the graphics and photos are great, and it is loaded with info. In a very competitive market, this book stands out.
This is a very colorful book. After seeing gray drawings of dinosaurs for decades, this is a shock. The result makes one reconsider the amazing subject. The story or survey of the subject is full of dinosaur names. And the information relies on very recent discoveries. Since the dinosaurs existed for a much longer time than life on this planet since their demise, there were a lot of different species evolving over an unbelievably long period. I didn't think that I was retaining any of the nomenclature but when I returned to another book I have (on dinosaur eggs) I began to recognize them.
The book was created perhaps to appeal to children, which was very successful I found when two boys visited and zeroed in on the book out of nearly 4000 available to them here. However I find the bright colors a bit much to believe. Some of the drawings verge on cartooning. But the book is just right for me as I was not as current on dinosaurs as younger people, and needed a popular presentation. The text I think would be a bit technical for anyone under 14, but the combination makes for wide appeal and a great coffe table book.
