Discovering Dinosaurs moves from the earliest discoveries to the most up-to-date findings and includes a four page section on the paleontologist at work. Section five, Dinosaur Atlas, follows discoveries of dinosaur movements worldwide from Europe and Asia to Africa and North America. The final section, Dinosaur Data, is an absolute fund of information about dinosaurs from their teeth and skin to their speed and intelligence; from their birth to their extinction.
