4.0 out of 5 stars For Dinosaur Lovers... Dec 7 2012
By Jason Farren - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book is not as concise as you might assume. There is a load of information on different species of dinosaurs (most not that well-known). The book is broken up into different sections detailing things such as carnivorous dinosaurs and herbivores, to armored dinosaurs and sauropods. An added bonus to this book is a couple of sections on lifeforms before and after the dinosaurs. Overall this book was very well-written and was more scientific and did not dumb things down unlike most other dinosaur books.
