Book Of Dinosaurs

Since their discovery more than 150 years ago, dinosaurs have intrigued scientists and non-specialists alike. Dinosaurs have starred in movies, plastered bedroom walls and fallen out of cereal boxes ... but never out of fashion. Taking fossil record as its evidence, The British Natural History Museum Book of Dinosaurs examines dinosaurs under readily understood headings -- diet, social behavior, environment, locomotion -- making frequent reference to living animals as a basis for comparison. The book is extensively illustrated with newly commissioned artwork, diagrams and photographs. It features the outstanding illustrations, models and other original material that have been created for The Natural History Museum's new dinosaur gallery, a permanent exhibition that has proved massively popular with the public.
