Giant Dinosaur Book CL

David Lambert's The Giant Dinosaur Book places the creatures in an environmental context and discusses evolutionary forces while describing the winged reptiles and ocean animals that were the dinosaurs' contemporaries. The author delves into the work of ""fossil hunters"" and modern-day paleontologists; a section on ""Dinosaur Groups"" categorizes the animals by historic period; and scale drawings compare their size with that of humans. An illustrated glossary and index round out the package. ( Oct.)
