The study of dinosaurs has been experiencing a remarkable renaissance over the past few decades. Scientific understanding of dinosaur anatomy, biology, and evolution has advanced to such a degree that paleontologists often know more about 100-million-year-old dinosaurs than many species of living organisms. This book provides a contemporary review of dinosaur science intended for students, researchers, and dinosaur enthusiasts. It reviews the latest knowledge on dinosaur anatomy and phylogeny, how dinosaurs functioned as living animals, and the grand narrative of dinosaur evolution across the Mesozoic. A particular focus is on the fossil evidence and explicit methods that allow paleontologists to study dinosaurs in rigorous detail. Scientific knowledge of dinosaur biology and evolution is shifting fast, and this book aims to summarize current understanding of dinosaur science in a technical, but accessible, style, supplemented with vivid photographs and illustrations. The Topics in Paleobiology Series is published in collaboration with the Palaeontological Association, and is edited by Professor Mike Benton, University of Bristol. Books in the series provide a summary of the current state of knowledge, a trusted route into the primary literature, and will act as pointers for future directions for research. As well as volumes on individual groups, the series will also deal with topics that have a cross-cutting relevance, such as the evolution of significant ecosystems, particular key times and events in the history of life, climate change, and the application of a new techniques such as molecular palaeontology. The books are written by leading international experts and will be pitched at a level suitable for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers in both the paleontological and biological sciences.

This simple board book uses rhythmic language and beautiful colour illustrations to introduce toddlers to a range of dinosaurs, from the smallest to the tallest, the fastest to the slowest. 2-5 years. Dinosaurs hatch, dinosaurs grow, dinosaurs roar and dinosaurs munch! Especially for the young, this book explores the fascinating world of Dinosaurs. A new title in the best-selling 'ABC Book of...' series. 2 -5 years. Review from Aussiereviews.com '[this] is a sturdy board book introducing dinosaurs to small children. the text is sparing and the illustrations gentle. Size comparisons are demonstrated very clearly in illustrations where the text indicates 'small' and 'tall' etc. Accurate names are used, but so too are descriptors like 'spiky tail' for the Kentrosaurus and 'three sharp horns for triceratops. the narrative text is rhyming, and different font sizes are used to help differentiate between the narrative text and labels and the like. Illustrations are pastel coloured with plenty of white space to allow close examination of each of these remarkable creatures. Dinosaurs continue to entrance generation after generation of young children. the ABC Book of Dinosaurs is a new title for the very young in a series that includes the beautiful 'Animals'. the ABC Book of Dinosaurs offers accurate information in a very simple style without overwhelming the illustrations or 'dumbing down'. Danny Snell's illustrations have smiling faces...even the big-toothed tyrannosaurus Rex appears almost friendly. A beautiful book. Recommended for toddlers and dinosaur fans.'
