Dinosaurs : A Concise Natural History Hardback
by David E. (University of Rhode Island) Fastovsky, David B. (The Johns Hopkins University) Weishampel
Illustrated by John Sibbick
Hardback
Description
The ideal textbook for non-science majors, this lively and engaging introduction encourages students to ask questions, assess data critically and think like a scientist.
Building on the success of the previous editions, Dinosaurs has been reorganised and extensively rewritten in response to instructor and student feedback.
It continues to make science accessible and relevant through its clear explanations and extensive illustrations.
Updated to reflect recent fossil discoveries and to include new taxa, the text guides students through the dinosaur groups, emphasising scientific concepts rather than presenting endless facts.
It is grounded in the common language of modern evolutionary biology - phylogenetic systematics - so that students examine dinosaurs as professional paleontologists do.
The key emerging theme of feathered dinosaurs, and the many implications of feathers, have been integrated throughout the book, highlighted by the inclusion of stunning new photographs in this beautifully illustrated text, now in full colour throughout.
